Interesting, but one assumption for "would be massively amplified" is that we are more connected. It seems that people are (at least feeling) more lonely (ref: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/ideas/usable-knowledge/24/10/wha...).

So, while dishonesty can spread through social networks, does not address if the total dishonesty is larger or lower or equal to, for example 100 years ago, because there are many factors involved.
