The issue is the people spreading information and the people believing it. , When the news, who have lost all credibility, hyper exaggerate every story, it's no wonder the amount of FUD and lies people are willing to believe on the internet. It's also a problem of education, people no longer believe in science, and accept any notion that fits into their belief system as fact. The real PR campaign here is the media and politicians using big tech as a virtue signaling platform to free up the market for the fake news organizations to become profitable again so they can spoon feed stories to the masses.
