I agree with you conceptually, in a world where everyone is genuinely seeking the truth and sceptically fact checking. But the reality is the general public don't have the time or attention span to read beyond a headline let alone wait for a retorting explanation.

That combined with peoples propensity to be attracted to rage-bait and outrageous content in my opinion leaves a loop of scroll, get outraged, move onto next topic.

We saw that in the US election cycle that just passed. One side makes outrageous in-factual claim, voter base gets riled up, other side attempts to set the record straight, other side is already riled up on a completely different in-factual claim.

I'm not sure what the solution is. Banning TikTok probably isn't it.
