I can't wait until this technology is perfected so that we can finally put an end to online disinformation for good.

Those dangerous idiots actually believe that a billionare pedophile spent decades inviting high-ranking politicians and influential decision makers to his private island for orgies with underage girls, and that when he was arrested he managed to hang himself while on suicide watch in a maximum security prison! They really are that deluded and dangerous. This needs to end, now.

The nutcases also believe that the governments are working with big tech to eliminate cash so that anybody who doesn't toe the line can be "permanently cancelled". Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous? I hope in the future we can just have an algorithm that disables the bank account of anybody who spews such divisive nonsense online. There is no place for that kind of hate in a society that strives for any kind of progress.

In case the sarcasm is not obvious... this will never happen. Determining what is true and what is false will be one of the greatest challenges humans face from here on out. The source of disinformation may be from fellow citizens (conspiracies, memes), or it may be from the government itself (propaganda) or from massive corporations (lobbies, bogus research with predetermined conclusions)

Well, first you need to define "disinformation." It's a non-trivial, and probably a concept that's unable to be rigorously defined.

The entire post is sarcasm.

Do we laugh or cry at how this cannot be immediately discerned as a joke at this point in time.

[razius]

I truly hope this is sarcasm

[ignoranceprior]

Yeah, it obviously is. But something that irks me about the comment is that it conflates a well-supported conspiracy theory (Epstein, who was actually charged and convicted) and a crazy illuminati-level one (Big Tech eliminating cash to cancel people, huh?), as if they are equally plausible.

>a crazy illuminati-level one (Big Tech eliminating cash to cancel people,

Its been happening for a few years now. It is an unfortunate reality.

You'll have a nice beta test to observe in 2021, as people who don't take a vaccine will be phased out from the society. Restricting payments seems like a good way to do it.

How will people who don't take a vaccine be phased out from society? This sounds like a bit of a conspiracy theory to me, but then that by no means proves it as a falsehood. Should I be preparing for a purge of some sort?

[throwaway80332]

Of course it will not happen, it is a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Nobody is getting phased out, the people who chose to not take the vaccine will just not be able to buy or sell.

[skocznymroczny]

not be able to buy, sell, travel anywhere, go to cinema, restaurants, participate in sports events.
