RE: How can the Steem blockchain stop the spread of fake news?
Have you ever seen the "The Other 98%" on FB or any of the other big left leaning "groups." They consider news to be a meme and rarely is it even close to being accurate. Both sides have a huge fake new issue. Hell, if people would just read the damn content rather than the headline we would all be better off.
If they would do their own research, think for themselves, and put forth a little effort.
Also they really need to learn that whether it makes you uncomfortable or not is not the measure of whether it is fake.
They need to learn that disagreeing with it does not mean it is fake.
If you think it is fake, research it, find some evidence, and write about it, do videos about it, etc.
Yet remember if you are actually trying to help the masses treating them like zombies and bombarding them with the same style fallacies used to promote propaganda is NOT helping them. It just moves them from one brainwash to another without teaching them how to resist brainwash and think for themselves.
"That sounds like bullshit, I should go research it to find out if it is" is substantially different from "That is bullshit! Fake News!"
