I can offer you a thousand examples of "How far can fake news travel". Pizzagate, anti-vax, moon conspiracies ... "_Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it_" (Jonathan Swift, 1710) Not only don't I want anyone to add to a pile of mistruths, I want purveyors of misinformation to face social and financial disincentives. > Do you really believe we should trust random tabloids Of course not. "Tabloid" === trashy journalism, so no, no trust. Those of us who believe in being good and not misleading people should join efforts to make sure that misinformation does not get out of hand; at the very least we should not be manufacturing trash of our own to prove to others how badly it can go. |
