I think the solution for the problem of fake news is going to be very difficult. People have a tendency of believing whatever they read in Facebook or a random google search or a random WhatsApp message, and that is going to be difficult to counter. Traditionally the source of information could be monitored at least in well run countries. However, when anyone can make his/her views visible to the whole world and make emphatic claims with false logic, it is going to be hard to prevent people from believing them. A lot of threads I saw on the Myanmar issue say Facebook should have done more. Maybe Facebook could change its algorithms to not show people aggressive stuff. Maybe they can have an option to report stuff. But what about people spreading propaganda in an exponential way, with only very few people reporting. How on earth any messaging platform will deal with that. I think we are looking at a very painful compromise some where down the line.
