That's possible to overstate or overestimate.
It's a complicated change. We have incredible access. But attention is still limited. Signal to noise is a problem when we are only partially engaged. 21st century confirmation bias in the form of information bubbles and internet speed rumor mils are a problem when me are more engaged, especially ideologically or politically.
We see China exercising a seemingly significant hold over public perceptions with relatively simple to bypass internet censorship. There are subtler versions elsewhere.
Even the shrill accusations of false flags, misdirections and complex misinformation may have some grains of truth.
The world may not be as naive. But, it's not like we have a truth button even today.
