> therefore the idea of "controlling misinformation" itself is anathema to a free society. Have you ever considered that maybe "free societies" have never really existed, or maybe if they have, they might have vulnerabilities that cause them to taken over by misinformation, cults, and psychotic megalomaniacs, and destroy themselves? Because this is the question that some of us are honestly wrestling with. Society doesn't look super stable right now, and it's not because there's too little freedom of information. You can tune into whatever brand of crazy turns your crank and absolutely disappear into it. The echo chambers are numerous and labyrinthine. There's just too many nutjobs out there sucking down propaganda and there's too many nutjobs producing it. Societies, like people, can become mentally deranged. Nobody really knows what to do in that case, but in general it doesn't end pretty.
