For real though, what’s society gonna do about misinformation?

[RickyDiBiase]

nothing, the government is run by people who were born before there was color television.

Young people are just as dumb as they are

Young people are just as dumb as they are

they are far more literate in technology and the internet tho

This is the worst place to ask this question.

Dudes on here fall for every Tik Tok skit and have 20 page discussions about them.

These nikkas will comment in threads without watching the video or reading the article the thread was based on.... and then have strong opinions about it

That don’t mean much.

What's the scifi story where ppl had to create a Internet because the old one was filled with computer viruses (possibly sentient) and ads?

That's going to us pretty soon. We need to try again.

Edit: thats cyberpunk smh

That don’t mean much.

it means a lot when you're dealing with tech issues and the people making the laws don't even know how to operate their smart phones.

Critical thinking was already at an all time low to begin with..you got people here who make threads on obviously fake skits.

And it's disgusting. I hope that they are at least paid posters.

It’s crazy how MGS2 and Deus Ex predicted this.

im just glad i came of age before the republican party completely destroyed public education. im not too worried about younger people, cause theyre smart enough to google some shyt and figure out whats going on, but old people? theyre fukked. you can see it daily on facebook lmao. just dumb as hell... willful ignorance.. they dont know, and they dont wanna know.

you thinking in terms of political party is a bi-product of the misinformation age.

if you dont think liberals/democrats dont bend the truth youre just as lost as the avg Fox News watcher

 

[analog]

Focus on getting money and you don't even have to worry or even believe any of the shyt out here

We all saw it rock the 2010s, especially with the maga wave. But recent developments with AI, deepfakes, etc. are taking this to a different level, even scammers are using this technology now.

Bruh, this website alone has a deep misinformation issue that the mods are incapable of handling

I’m just thankful I grew up from the beginning of the internet and know my way around. I also read books and articles that have helped shape my beliefs.

Also Mike brooks (RIP to the real one) played a big role in my understanding of leftism

People who are discerning about information will do what they've always done. The others will do what they've always done. Think of how many random videos are posted here with no indication of who is presenting the information , their level of expertise, or even what training/background is.
