After watching the documentary, the question that still remains for me is, how do we truly combat this issue of fake news? Where can we draw a line between free speech and misinformation? I know fact-checking happens, and posts will get flagged, but it's often after millions have seen it, in which case they won't return to the post. Do we need to redefine free speech as a whole? #so315
@ci3002 I also had this same lingering thought. And like you mentioned in your other post, will people even try to combat it or will we eventually reach a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality. Which is sad, but we are reaching a point, especially with AI, where trying to tell if things are real or fake becomes harder and rumors spread faster than truth. And in this case, people take the first post they see and run with it, without fact-checking before they respond. #so315
