Explained in plain English

How do groups form?

Groups often form around shared beliefs, values, or even common enemies. In the story, the 'Life in Britain' page uses AI videos to create a sense of shared identity and grievance among its followers, particularly by framing an 'us vs them' narrative. This can solidify a group's bond, making them more receptive to specific messages.
