A large number of people don't really care about verifying what they've heard is true or not before repeating it, eventually making it fact amongst themselves.

A large number of people don't really care about verifying what they've heard is true or not before repeating it, eventually making it fact amongst themselves. Hell I've been guilty of spouting BS before, just because I've heard something from so many people. Then find that when I look it up, it's not true. It's not really a tech problem, it's more of a human problem imo, like so many others. But there is literally nothing we can do about it.
