A non-conforming independent piece of information can disrupt the socially engineered influence and conformation to the narrative of the mass media.

So true and well said. Fake news, real news, things going on in real people's lives...it's all bad news lately and is disrupting me too! Steemit is unique considering the large majority of users who are interested in the truth, and the ones who aren't are clearly out of their pond. This is a good thing, but today reading it all here on this platform is downright depressing. Didn't stop me from resteeming two of them though lol. Do you know cecicastor and what is happening to her? Just found out today, and it's heartbreaking. Not tagging her because it might put her in danger. She needs our support so I had to resteem her post today... Check it out if you're curious.

Totally went off topic there though! Thanks for spreading the news about fake news. ;)
