Impact of Social Media on Trump Trial

The absence of televised coverage in the Trump trial may limit social media's influence in polarizing opinions. Past cases like Johnny Depp's defamation trial saw social media amplifying personal attacks, leading to potential bias. Questions arise on whether social media can affect the jury's view and the trial's fairness. Despite the trial not being televised, concerns persist about the spread of misinformation and hate campaigns online.
