What you're seeing
A social network. One person starts spreading a lie (red). After a delay, the truth enters the network (green). Both race through the same connections. Watch which one reaches more people.
How to read the graph
Dark nodes haven't heard either version. Red nodes believe the lie. Green nodes have been corrected with the truth. The mini chart in the corner tracks both counts over time — watch the gap between red and green.
The key lesson
A lie told once has already been shared ten times before the truth gets its shoes on. Misinformation has three structural advantages: a head start (fact-checking takes time), a speed advantage (lies are sensational and shareable), and a correction penalty (it's harder to change someone's mind than to fill a blank one). This is why prevention beats correction.
