But people don't actively choose their news, information and opinions anymore. It's shoved into their faces by algorithms, "new and trending" front pages, tv stations or news pages and papers owned by billionaires, who decide what to publish and which spin to put on. Even in windows and android you get tabloid and fake news thrown at you if you open the default browser with factory settings. You have to spend time to configure your systems to remove all the bs, which I don't think many people will do. Even social media is manipulated with bots, fake likes and chat bots pushing their owners viewpoints.
