The close correspondence between SSM and the framework, therefore offers an opportunity to directly use the underlying motivations of SSM legalization as a study of the motivation of the framework in general. ### Media needs to be diverse for SSM because otherwise it creates vicarious communities. {#media-needs-to-be-diverse-for-ssm-because-otherwise-it-creates-vicarious-communities-dot}
