Politicians and oligarchs have failed the US by abusing high tech conduits for propaganda warfare. We need stronger policies to promote truthful information. Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, etc all accept applications from sources like Fox News claiming to be News. New innovations should expose these sources for the BS they expose their viewers to.
Silicon valley is already very left leaning and sites like YouTube and Twitter actively curate content to fit a narrative. Do you want even more censorship?
YouTube is home to some of the largest groups of right wing followers. Reality has a liberal bias.
What I want is highly sophisticated ML selected news feeds. If I were a conservative and other conservatives are clicking conservatives stuff, it would be fine. Same with left leaning material. I think what the OP is specifically calling out is obvious fake news like pizza gate garbage that got so many impressions and promotions on Facebook and google. It should be possible to identify fake news from its source. It’s harder to identify heavily bias materials that originate from opinion articles of highly relevant sources. Because these will clearly be slanted. But fake news should be flagged with a 💩 emoticon next to every link or something of that nature.
I would argue we need much more than that since people's memories are largely incapable of remembering if something was fact or fiction.
Lol wat. You single or Fox News as the corner stone of fake news? What about the garbage E!, Vice, Huff Po, and MSNBC put out? Come on now. I suspect you’re part of the problem, ironically.
Fox news has been proven to spew the most garbage though.
Got a source for that?
