  • I agree that the Internet is a mess of misinformation that looks daunting, but isn’t it a little disingenuous to say this like it’s just the internet’s problem? People can write whatever they want in print media and on TV too. I wish we had an educated populace that could self-police, but we don’t. We need the FCC to be able to apply fairness doctrine (or something) to get bad actors out of news media. I know we can do this because when I search for things online, I regularly see content that is removed by DMCA. Clearly we have the power to police the internet, it’s only because there’s a vested money interest that we aren’t doing something similar with news.
