True, but in war they could add a warning to the website.

  The best bet is to train end users to use the internet effectively. BigTech has spent the past 15 years laboriously dumbing down its users to become scrolling monkeys.

    We scrolled less (thanks Aza), but were the same monkeys before. People wildly overestimate their critical thinking faculties and how impervious they are to propaganda.

    I wish this where true, but I disagree. I think you drastically over-estimate the average (particularly non tech) person's will and ability to learn such things.

      That's because we never adapted and used people's emotional biases to make money. Just because some friend says something doesn't mean it's true - but pointing this out would cost a lot of money
