So people still trust any information?
Personally I've lost mine ages ago. There is no way to discern truth from propaganda without investing an unsustainable amount of time researching. The internet ceased to be a source of truth when the people with motive realized that the populous get their information from it.
It's fine for technical learning and easily proven facts, but any political information or any with significant economical impact should be considered propaganda, as for every person that actually knows anything about the topic there will be 10 that are paid to spread some agenda

- soco 4y agoI guess looking at the persons/parties spreading a certain kind of information/policies could help a bit clarify their goals and assess their trustworthiness. "Follow the money" is a classic already.

- baq 4y agothis is how the FSB wins. after the smart people stop trusting to the point of not caring at all, the easily manipulated masses get fed whatever the FSB needs at the moment.
