Specific only to COVID-19.
I don’t see social media companies making any dent on misinformation. Here are a variety of examples.
* Troll farms that deliberately seek to manipulate gullible people for unrelated motivations.
* Fanatics, which are the same as troll farms except their motives are aligned to what they claim.
* Cults which are also just like troll farms except their motives are centered around the desires of a central person or idol.
* Liars. People who deliberately mislead others for personal reasons nor affiliated with an organization.
* Stupid people are like liars except their deceit is not deliberate and they have primarily fooled themselves and want to share their foolishness, such as people who put their heads in the sand and twist themselves into knots to ignore evidence when pushing opinions onto people.
* Gullible people are those who spread any information they believe to be true where truth is only based on popularity, conformity, or social expediency.
I want to see how social media eliminates that.
