I want to agree; corporations should not be the arbiter of what is and isn’t true.

But they do want to promote content to us, because their entire business model depends on keeping us in a never-ending scrolling algorithmic stupor.

So there’s the catch-22. I don’t want them promoting falsehoods. And most falsehoods only survive be being more interesting, more salacious, more engaging than the truth - so unless the system has some bias against them, it will prefer them.

If there’s a magical solution to not promoting falsehoods without deciding what’s false - there’s probably a lot of money waiting for you.

Have you're political beliefs been 100% completely static your entire life? Have you ever realized you were wrong about something, and that your previous belief was a falsehood?
