I agree with you in theory. In practice I wonder if the refusal of traditional media to publish these things surrenders too much ground to social media, which has zero restrictions on "weaponizing" these things to an a degree that would have been difficult to conceive of a few years ago. And on top of that, everything can be layered with the seductive narrative "here's what they refuse to show you", which is often just used as a primer to suck people down some rabbit hole of even worse conspiracy and propaganda.
- baz00 3y agoActually making social media networks and the posters accountable for misinformation rather than threatening it would be a first step.
- rightbyte 3y agoHow about just not having engagement self enforcing algorithm feeding people stuff from people they don't "follow" or don't want BS from? Censurship of "misinformation" will kill any actual discourse worth anything. Not that Twitter, Facebook et al. have it anymore. But before the algorithm changes discussions were actually sane.
