You Are Lied to Every Day
inv.tux.pizzaWe are constantly being lied to by people online. These people are not your friends. Do not trust someone just because they claim to belong to your political "team". The lying has become endemic. By design it has caused us to hate, fear, and fragment.

I do admit that I think how social media works is to presume anything you hear on facebook or shitter as false unless proven otherwise.
Does anyone here think they have a good heuristic to determine if anything on a social media website is true? Can we progress dialectically towards the truth with social media or does the system motivate liars to double down on falsehoods? If it were possible for us to own social media can social media be made to encourage truth telling and punish liars?
Thanks, yeah I did say it wasn’t ideal
