🧪 Social Media Social Media Crisis Simulation

This simulation models how a false claim tears through a social network and whether a fact-check can catch it. A 240-account small-world graph — a handful of high-degree "hub" accounts wired into many shortcuts, like real influencer networks — carries two competing contagions: the claim itself, spreading node-to-node at a virality rate you control, and a correction that only starts after a response delay you set. Watch believing nodes turn red as the crisis unfolds, then green as the fact-check catches up, and see directly how response speed and hub amplification decide whether the crisis burns out early or takes over the network before anyone can correct it.
