Most people have preferences for belief that prioritize other factors above truth. They are served by false or misleading news. Any attempt to distinguish this "fake news" from real news is contradictory to free speech.
In short, people don't want news. News has to be forced on them, which is anti-freedom.
In theory, you could also address this by making sure reality aligns with the ideal state of every person who consumes news, but come on.
- fullshark 10y agoYeah I agree with this. The problem is people want their biases confirmed and don't actually want news. One solution is the gov't "regulating" the news to make sure the people get their informational vegetables which is clearly a violation of freedom of the press/speech.
