> Ubiquitous cell coverage means everyone knows what is happening everywhere now. I think this assumes facts not in evidence. Just because someone is "connected" doesn't mean they're automatically informed. As we see in first world countries, there's a lot of fucking morons that only listen to comfortable lies rather than uncomfortable truths. There's also industrial production of bullshit peddled by disingenuous actors taking advantage of that fact. Fleecing rubes can be very profitable. The very problem being discussed is Facebook trying to absolve themselves of bullshit peddling by blaming everyone else. They're blaming people for believing shit Facebook put in front of them under the guise of news. They're also fine taking money to promote bullshit as "news". Yet it's society's fault that they believed everything labeled news Facebook put in front of them.
