Yea I kind of agree. The antidote to fake news should be an educated population, not banning fake news.

  That's an appealing image, but we can see which of the those is easier to legislate... my instinct is the populace will voluntarily educate themselves only if they can feel the negative effects of 'fake news' in their lives in the short term. Given that we haven't seen much of an uptick in educated discourse online, I would hazard a guess that hasn't happened yet.

  We already have an educated population.

    It that were true "math class is tough" Barbie would never have existed.

      That’s not a problem with education, people are just stupid.

      I don't know. It sounds like that could be an attempt to lower the education level of the populace.
