And if what’s generally taken to be true actually fits the definition of misinformation, and other misinformation networks are created with the intent to combat

And if what’s generally taken to be true actually fits the definition of misinformation, and other misinformation networks are created with the intent to combat that, is this really any different from how politics has always been? It seems we are exchanging a lot more bullshit now, but at least it can be more easily observed when it’s on the internet vs a physical medium. Right now I think the internet has generally made things worse, but it seems possible that we can raise the standard as time goes on. At least now I think a subset of highly interested people are able to more accurately determine what’s factual than anyone would have been able to just a couple decades ago.
