There is no good solution to the disemination of harmful information in a free society other than education. America barely has that, and I don't see any signs

There is no good solution to the disemination of harmful information in a free society other than education. America barely has that, and I don't see any signs of this improving.
- Exmoor 6y agoFrankly, some of the most well educated people in my social media sphere are still guilty of distributing blatantly false and misleading information. It's just way easier to retween/share some twitter screenshot without even giving it even a small fact-check as long as it agrees with your political leanings.
- ScottFree 6y ago> There is no good solution to the disemination of harmful information in a free society other than education. False. Maybe we should ban you from commenting on any of the popular platforms to prevent you from spreading such blatantly harmful misinformation. ... you see how that happens? Party A with access and power doesn't want you to say something, so you get banned. It has nothing to do with misinformation or education.
