It’s interesting to me that individuals would rarely identify as susceptible to misinformation, and yet en masse it seems pretty clear that millions of us are vulnerable.

Although this problem's been around since forever (M Twain: “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”), there's a pretty good chance that it can be solved if a determined community approaches it seriously enough. That of course leads to the need to resolve problems like "determination" and "community" but here things get a bit circular in addition to the obvious resource constraints.
