| > I have no idea how to fix this. I think this is the responsibility of "the media". They should be the ones looking at the "truth" from all sides and presenting a equidistant picture. It's just that we don't have "media" anymore, they're all just tools for delivering advertising. Media has moved to the Internet - "social media" which doesn't yet have a clearly defined role/goal in society. It has an impact allright, but not necessarily intended, it just kind of happened by itself. Now the responsibility is on these Internet companies to implement the proper information dissemination algorithms, otherwise we might end up with civil wars all over the world. For example, if you follow a "democrat" leader, Facebook should force you to follow a "republican" leader too. In general, whenever there's something divisive, these tools should "push" opposing views to you as well, in order to avoid the formation of "echo chambers". |
