Meta will allow political ads that claim the 2020 election was stolen.

YouTube will no longer remove videos making similar claims.

Monetizing lies has become a big business in America. It’s one of the core challenges to democracy.

@rbreich here. Let’s do this: The internet needs a librarian. It needs an office to preserve , curate, index and organize the knowledge of humanity.

This includes peer-reviewed procedures and methods to identify the veracity of the information. It highlights and separates lies from truth.

Let’s pass that law.

@piratero @rbreich so who would you trust to be the arbiter of truth?

The Constitution specifically says the government is not supposed to be in that role.

@mike805 @rbreich the constitution says nothing of the kind. If anything, it is a mechanism to convert disagreement into truth.

There are already mechanisms that allow us to navigate the dark, misinformation and the abomination of religion clearly, you missed the peer-reviewed comment, too.
