RE: Warning!!! How Social Media Is Spreading Fake News

in #news7 years ago (edited)

Net neutrality and decentralisation has a by-product, anyone and everyone has a certain degree of freedom to express information (whether true to fact or not) the way they see fit. Especially nowadays where "influencers" literally go around the internet touting dubious information and using their sphere of influence to spread information that may be inaccurate.

However, it is also these axioms laid before us that allow the crowd to decide what to consider accurate, and what not to. If only humans had the ability to disengage from sheep herding behaviour, and think independently of peer pressure.

Sort:  

Sadly people of any age think that they must go along with the crowd.They want to be accepted even if they know otherwise as it is easier and sadly that is why many in this or thw previous generation have not created much in music,movies and other areas they have remade so much from the creativity that waa once plentiful but again that would take time and being able to think on their own.... Very sad ....

@sweetsssj I agree with you view Point, thanks for your comment. We all are experiencing both sides of technological Innovation plus freedom of speech. I, however, only hope that civility and due diligence will be employed by most stakeholders.

Absolutely I completely agree. Either its better the people learn to mature at humans and work together using intelligence & common sense respect. Nature will weed out what is not authentic in my opinion.
