Yeah, my whole impression while reading this article was "why try to solve a non-technological problem using technology?"

If the over abundance of information is just reinforcing existing psychological issues with humans then humans have to either get over these issues or reduce the exposure to information.

We cure cancer, which is biological issue, with chimical means, and so coming from technological advance.

That said, that doesn't means we have the technological means to solve problems posed by fake news and radicalization of opinion.

Regulation is probably the key, even if it means policing the web.

The problem here is fake news can comes from everywhere and is not restricted from coming from countries outside the national intended audience where national regulating instance have no influence.

An international watchdog has to be formed.

How are you going to reach people nowadays, except via technology?

Also, we're pretty much on a timer right now to get things right on at least climate change policy. We don't have the luxury of 30 years, or even a decade, to 'get over these issues'.

You can simultaneously believe that 'all the kinks with new technologies got worked out eventually' and 'it really sucked for the ones who didn't survive the transition'
