I’m all for having a chat with people in real life but all the internet has shown us is here is that we weren’t and are not very methodical in forming our opinions, the speed of incoming information or ability to communicate quicker over distance hasn’t worsened it, it’s just shown up how poor it is. There were plenty of conspiracy theories before Twitter and Facebook. Regardless, the best method for improving knowledge is making it available to criticism, which is why I favour free speech and openness over this silly culture of “fact checking”, algorithmic censorship and “hate” speech. If it means someone does or doesn’t do something someone else dislikes or thinks is wrong but is legal, like not taking a vaccine, then so be it, they’re adults.
