What happens if the majority of your group is trusting fake news aka people who exclusively listen to sources like NewsMax. Do you just abandon these people as trapped?
- px43 4y agoI would hope that in some cases, if their friends and loved ones start explicitly signaling their distrust of NewsMax or whatever, then their likelihood of seeing content from shitty sources would decrease, slowly extracting them from the hate bubble. Of course these systems could also cause people to isolate further, and get lost in these bubbles of negativity. These systems would help to identify people on the path to getting lost, opening the path for some IRL intervention, and should the person chose to leave the bubble, they should have an easier path towards recovery. Either way, a lot of those networks depend heavily on inauthentic rage porn, which should have a hard time propagating in a network built on accountability.
- pixl97 4y agoI think you deeply underestimate how entrenched inauthentic rage porn is a focal point of far too many peoples lives.
- gwbas1c 4y agoYes. These people I only interact with in real life, and I don't bring up anything on the news.
