Answering calls for deeper consideration of the relationship between moral panics
and emergent media systems, this exploratory article assesses the effects of
social media - web-based venues that enable and encourage the production and
exchange of user-generated content. Contra claims of their empowering and
deflationary consequences, it finds that, on balance, recent technological
transformations unleash and intensify collective alarm. Whether generating fear
about social change, sharpening social distance, or offering new opportunities
for vilifying outsiders, distorting communications, manipulating public opinion,
and mobilizing embittered individuals, digital platforms and communications
constitute significant targets, facilitators, and instruments of panic
production. The conceptual implications of these findings are considered.
