The U.S. election is going to reverberate around the world, it's not just apathetic Americans who are impacted. And misinformation absolutely contributed to the result, but I'd call the bigger player Fox news. All that being said, harms from Meta aren't limited to misinformation.
When I'm at the pearly gates I don't want to be someone who 'maximized his salary and didn't give a fuck'. To each their own.

Misinformation exists, but its effect is to reinforce the confirmation bias that is present already. It just serves as ammunition to use in arguments against people who don't know better. Remember, post WW2, its not like every single Nazi supporter realized they were wrong. >When I'm at the pearly gates I don't want to be someone who 'maximized his salary and didn't give a fuck'. To each their own. Maximizing your salary and taking care of your social group is way more beneficial. This is the extension of the original concept of communities that allowed people to prosper.
