Try searching on google for nyt retractions sometime. For that matter, twitter and facebook manipulation also can have some very direct influences... After it's all said and done, they're all a huge cesspool of deceit.

An mobile, I'm using Brave (FF just didn't work right with ublock for me), and using uBlock and Privacy badger on desktop.

I really wish browsers were far more restricted on IFrames more than 1-layer deep... cross-origin on 2+ layers of IFrames is all ads.. if the networks really cared, they'd work around it if they were cutoff from cookies/session/localstorage etc... As it is, layer of huge JS and tracking, nope, no ad, pass to another layer, etc. 85% of overhead is often in layers of ad iframes, cut them off at the knees technically... no cookies or data access 2+ layers deep.

I just checked a typical day's correction by the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/pageoneplus/corrections-m...

It's two minor mistakes, transparently corrected. I can't think of a better process except "let's agree never to make any mistakes".

And the self-certified "Brave" browser is a for-profit scam. It's an answer only if the question was "Why isn't there another middleman between me and content creators, skimming 30% of ad revenue?".
