	Particular to the social media era, Newgon has witnessed a tendency to overemphasize the present importance of first-wave organizations and claim they are still active. While this has happened in the case of [[Ipce]] and PIE, it is more notable and memetic in [[NAMBLA]]'s example. Such organizations no longer meet, no longer carry on the communications necessary to be deemed organizations, and are typically only remembered via websites maintained by older ex-members, many of whom have age-related impairments and reduced input. In NAMBLA's case, ~~nonagenarean~~ [[Peter Melzer]] died in 2024, leaving the website dormant.

	The alt-right has also framed student protesters as "pedophiles", convincing even Donald Trump Jr. of the hoax's veracity. Mike Cernovich, an alt-right personality, arrived at Columbia University in October 2017, to give a speech to the school’s College Republicans club. But when students protested outside the event, trolls posed in front of them with a banner promoting [[NAMBLA]]. Cernovich and other alt-right figures quickly copied a journalist’s picture of the sign and tweeted it as evidence.<ref>[https://www.thedailybeast.com/alt-right-frames-protesters-as-pedophiles-with-fake-nambla-sign Daily Beast]</ref>		The alt-right has also framed student protesters as "pedophiles", convincing even Donald Trump Jr. of the hoax's veracity.
