You bring up another interesting point that I hadn't realized. The internet doesn't allow us to recognize the "liars" as easily. In the village example you gave, you have a person's face to go off of. On the internet, I could see 100 different "people", but it could be all the same face and I just don't know it. There's a bunch of variations of that, but I think you get the point. Our natural abilities to filter things appropriately is drastically hindered and subverted in the current forms of delivery on the internet.
