In my case, I don't care about the "privacy protection" of a given social network: I assume that everything I post is public (except private messages), so I filter what I upload based on that assumption. Things I do care about: -No censorship -Chronological feed -Open source & non-abusive client. (i.e. no tracking what users see or read) -Good usability I don't care about abusive content or fake news. If I see fake news, I just stop following whoever posted it. So, under my criteria: decentralized > facebook

  if you can't tell the difference between real news and fake news, what makes you think `$whatever_arbiter` will do a better job?

    Why did you ask me a question totally unrelated to my post? I am not sure that I do think $$whatever_organization can do better, but perhaps it has more resources to issue corrections.

      It might also have its own agenda about what news it wants to be considered "real" or "fake".

  Maybe doing due diligence, reading a few primary sources, before you choose to believe or act on something?
