I almost wonder if (1) capping the audience size a user can reach, and (2) limiting the rate of a user's audience churn would dissuade users from amplifying misinformation. Not only would it cap the dopamine hit they'd get from sharing outlandish bullshit, but also limit the damage they could do by doing so.
- yellow_postit 6y agoCapping access to reach is akin to current editorial media — politicians and celebrities get more reach than others. When those in a position of reach choose to share outlandish misinformation we still as a society don’t seem to have good ways to hold them to accounnt. Once those large reach accounts share out then smaller ones can disseminate to all the untracked nooks and crannies and amplify further.
