Social media transfers knowledge from the edges of society into the mainstream by letting holders of marginalized views find kindred spirits, form groups, and incrementally grow influence until their perspective becomes mainstream, shifting the balance of power from a few to the masses.

Source quote, verbatim
Social media allows people who hold otherwise marginalized or underappreciated views to meet kindred spirits online and form groups that promote their shared ideas.
