Our team still studies “collective sensemaking” during breaking news events. What we see with MH17 and Jan6 are attacks on the sensemaking process itself… not just a distortion (like those described in this article) but a denial of service attack on sensemaking. www.cip.uw.edu/2023/12/06/r...

Working on MH17 data, then PhD student Ahmer Arif described denial of sensemaking: it felt like staring at static on an old TV or being forced to wear headphones pumping in static noise constantly, you couldn’t make sense of anything, it made your head hurt, the healthy thing to do was quit trying.
