Whether people realise it or not, what they read repeatedly sticks. So even glancing over false news, they will keep them in mind. There has to be a way to point them out in the moment of posting.
- mannykannot 5y agoIt is not clear what point you are trying to make here. Some people will come to wrong conclusions, so... don't publish anything? Don't publish anything except that which you, personally, judge to be correct? That if one sees a news article and an immediate rebuttal on some social medium, one must conclude that the former is false and the latter is true?
