Define propaganda.
Because everything at some level is propaganda. Even facts can be presented in such a way that they support any argument.
The only way to fight misinformation is with more, better information. Filter bubbles preventing this type of content from reaching users is the real problem.
- ben_w 7y agoI define propaganda as deliberately attempting to mislead a significant population for political purposes. I consider the two biggest problems with FB et al is that they are a paperclip optimiser for human attention, and that they are systematically exploitable by hostile actors. Filter bubbles are merely an emergent feature of that optimisation, not the cause.
