Classic quis custodiet ipsos custodes problem, I suppose.
I mean, Twitter manages to (not much as of recently though) provide additional information with some Tweets, I imagine a similar system would help.
As I already said, I didn't mean for opinions. But if someone makes a TikTok that says "I don't like gay people", then fine whatever. I'll feel sad about the state of the world, but it's not claiming anything false.
If, however, someone made a video that says "I don't like gay people because they're spreading HIV on purpose" then that is blatantly and provably false and should be removed.
For example I saw this one recently: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cgTFj9V2Jvg https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cgTFj9V2Jvg "amid riots, protestors let zoo animals out and now they're freely roaming Paris" with a disturbing backing track and an amalgamation of footage from various sources.
It's provably false and in fact a small number of people have commented like "... if you try and find any kind of official source for this you'll see that this is completely fake! ..."
But then there are plenty of comments from the apathetic dopamine addicted masses who swipe, absorb, swipe, absorb without ever looking into it: "Those poor animals. People don’t understand the dangers these animals now represent to the public and how it also endangers the animals safety from poachers or cruel individuals." I'd say about 99% of the comments aren't pointing out it's fake.
I guess it's the issue of saving people from themselves. Who will watch the watchers indeed, but we certainly have electrical standards, we have automotive standards, building standards, etc. Why do we not have information safety standards???
By your argument of "who gets to be the arbiter of truth", doesn't that also apply to electrical safety standards (as an example), who tf are they to tell me that my house needs an RCD? What business do they have fusing everything, earth pins and all?
