Not only this and the parent comment is also correct but this is the lesson that civilization will continually have to deal with every generation ad nauseam. This is our time and our struggle and how we handle this and all the issues afoot will set the course for humanity.

We as a species and our societies by proxy are self actualizing kicking and screaming.

It might be counter productive to think it'll get better if people can just assume social media sites will ban/flag misinformation correctly. Maybe only lower profile stuff will slip through, but the volume of misinformation will barely change I suspect and users that haven't learned how to train their own filter might be more likely to believe "unflagged" content.

I don't really see how this is very similar.

There is more gate keeping for TV, therefore less false information. Anyone can post on Twitter or Facebook.

Have you ever seen Fox news? Any infomercial? Reality tv?

I have to agree. The illusion of gatekeeping is far worse than a complete absence of it.
