The idea of memes being as something potentially dangerous should be more widespread. Maybe a different word should be used since it's colloquially used to refer to funny pictures with a caption, but I would pay for a service that used e.g. GPT-3 to detect fake news and flag them in my browser. I would trust a human moderation team to update the list for me, since even being aware of a meme lets it begin to take root in your mind. [0]
