>warning people about the massive increase in misinformation/disinformation

Such a boring take. Misinformation is easy to disprove, problem is commentary that is neither correct or wrong but holds certain biases. It is also very easy to convince yourself you are "thinking critically", but people can often believe something due to their emotions and only try and apply logic to that belief after. It is like coming up with an answer and then working backwards, rather than starting from first principles.

When you work towards a belief it is easy to mistake noise for signal.
