I think its true in the sense that if enough people are paying attention, all dishonestly and lies will be unraveled. I remember back when simcity 2013 came out EA said that always online was required because the game does a lot of processing on the servers that would be too much for your computer but shortly after someone patched out the code that checks for internet access and discovered that everything in the game except multiplayer still works.

I don't think it works like that, most social media are a game of numbers, if one smart person was enough, you wouldn't have nonsenses like flat-earth and similar becoming "popular topics".

- baroffoos 7y agoThe statement is that the internet will find the truth. Not that they will all agree on the truth or not also find untruth. For almost every single issue the truth exists on the internet.
