The problem has always been who can you trust to choose what is misinformation. I know of no one I would outsource that too, I certainly don't want to outsource it to any of the billionaire owners of the social networks, news papers nor to any government now or in the future.
I live in an age where the WHO called Covid droplet spread when it was and proven to be airborne and governments around the globe are still telling people to diligently wash their hands for a virus they breath in. Most of the mainstream media and social media is happily going with that as well. You can't trust people generally, including the authorities and experts on a topic.
I choose no one to have the power over what I can read.
- taeric 3y agoI'll also assert that the problem of volume is real. Both quantity and loudness. The challenger incident is a good case study. The motivated management to attempt the launch made it such that the quiet truth of the actual safety was hard for the group to hear. Until it was a disaster. (Yes, I think I'm basically restating the squeaky wheel idea.)
