> Focus on media literacy, critical thinking and digital literacy.
1. That is not the easy solution for the politicians
2. That is not the easy solution for the individual (needs to question himself)
= Not gonna happen
I believe “The hard way” does only appeal to a small minority (maybe not in HN :D )
- brobdingnagians 6y agoIndeed, most politicians don't really want you to focus on critical thinking. It would solve some of their problems, and create lots more problems for them. But for yourself, it is becoming more and more important to really think through what is being presented to you in whatever media form and analyze whether it is credible. The print form of a deep fake is plain old well constructed word-lies, which is why we have had the phrase "don't believe everything you read on the internet" for awhile. There are people who do, but we live better lives if we don't. Deep fakes aren't really a new problem, they are just a different form of an old problem.

- WanderPanda 6y agoThat “don't believe everything you read on the internet” example is nice, I hope society comes up with a similar immune response for other things
- eivarv 6y ago"Don't believe anything without sitting down, investigating and evaluating" holds true for most cases, including your own impressions/emotions, what you see, hear, read, etc.
