"A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on", that old adage.
But social has supercharged the whole affair, as you say, in speed and scale. Curation cannot solve it, but can it have some role in moderating it? What other tools do we have to throttle the damage? Do we need to axe social media entirely?
- manigandham 6y agoThe root issue is trust. All curation does is move the "trust" requirement from the poster to the curator, but it doesn't solve for it. In fact, it arguably makes it worse since it concentrates power and reduces inputs. I think social media needs to reform along our naturally developed behaviors. Small communities with some proximity and a measured flow of information. The instant global stimulus with anonymous accounts is clearly making us lose our minds.
