a stronger computer literacy curriculum in schools that actually teaches about the dangers and pitfalls of the Internet.
I grew up being told not to believe everything you read or see on tv. I still hold that belief while those who told me this 30 years ago are the ones spreading misinformation.
I agree with you but what do we do about the adults? I mean, Freedom of Speech only works when the public is educated enough to discern the difference between fact and fiction. I’m not opposed to people like Carlson, Jones, or Rogan speaking freely but the people listening should inherently be able to discern their falsities. People are tuning into this crap because it’s entertaining and engaging. This quickly turns to brainwashing with continued listening. And the streaming services know this and use algorithms to promote whatever grabs ya and keeps you on their platform.
How do you educate hundreds of millions of people around the world without coming off as One World Government propaganda?
