I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group liking each other in social media it may turn out badly' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'social media it may turn out badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'social'+'media'+'it'+'may'+'turn'+'out'='socialmediaitmayturnout'
'socialmediaitmayturnout' with letters rearranged gives 'MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
