Study: Social media influencers increase the toxicity, power of misinformation

  Who decides what is "misinformation"? This seems to be the latest buzzword for dealing with dissident opinion.

    They define this: “The influencers presented their claims as exposés of industry deceit, despite offering no verifiable evidence to support them.” So, misinformation = make claim with no supporting, verifiable evidence. Seems like a pretty standard, neutral definition.

      That would apply to some things and not others. A heck of a lot of things in life are subjective. Even respectable academia can have multiple views on some things, in fact it's bad if they don't.
