Well hopefully our phones will be able to penetrate our minds and detect when we are spreading misinformation and secretly take action to save us from ourselves. After all, our phone is the closest device to our own thoughts since it can detect and parse everything we read and search for.
Apple recently developed a feature for its phones to detect when its users are depressed - just one more baby step and phones could detect when its users are misinformed. And then the phone could do subtle things to manipulate the user into being less misinformed, for example by serving pro-vaccination links when the user searched for anti-vax articles. In this way we will achieve a utopia where everyone is informed and united in thought and purpose.
