I agree that a part of this problem is information silos that you're pushed into my machine learning algorithms. You should see my youtube feed. I watch 1 Jordan Peterson video and it treats me like I'm his biggest fanboy. Oh, and you like him watch these other guys who like him too. Oh and you like them, we'll make you feel even better by watching MORE things like him. WATCH MORE VIDEOS HERE. Stay we'll make you feel like everyone agrees with you. For me to break this I have to actively go out to break the algorithm by watching videos from people who disagree with Jordan just to add those types of videos into my feed. I (only kinda) knowing how these algorithms work try to train it to give me a healthy diet of both sides of the debate. So apply that to a conspiracy. Oh, you think the earth is flat? Watch this self affirming video about the moon landing. This works really well when shopping or trying to match a search to the text you're putting in, but it doesn't work well for creating diversified feeds that inform people. One way to break this up is by breaking up the monopolies on data, so that you can have different companies offer algorithms ON the data that the mega corps have. This would require a ton of regulation because you'd have to force data consumers not to turn around and sell that data. As we've seen can be a problem with facebook. But we need to break apart owning data and owning the algorithms.
