If you want someone to decide what's true because you believe the people aren't capable of doing so for themselves, you've already given up on democracy.

- andy_ppp 7y agoI would like there to be better education and yes, some kind of authority that we can warn people that the information has been reviewed and is likely to be incorrect or lies. Objective reality does exist as does scientific concensus on for example climate change.
- leereeves 7y agoFact checkers and scientists already exist, but in a democracy, the people have the right to choose whether to listen to them or not. Are you saying you'd prefer that people be forced to follow their decisions? Or that information they declare "incorrect" be banned? That's not democratic, that's authoritarian.
