It’s worry some that people have shifted their focus to unedited and often fairly anonymous sources for news. HN is honestly a good example as well. I’ve written numerous upvoted posts sharing information about the Scandinavian public sector and tech-management, but I’m not a vetted source. I mean, you can’t even tell if I’m Scandinavian from HN. My squabbling is relatively harmless of course, but it’s not always like this. If I was a different person I could’ve spent my time writing anti-vaccination stuff on another media, and people would have put the same sort of trust in my words. Not HN users, at least I’d like to think so, but a lot of people would have. That’s insanely dangerous to a free society, because we rely on truth, and right now there really isn’t a lot of it going around.
