On a certain level, it's not the lies that have changed, just the ease with which they are shared. People used to write up their views from outside consensus reality and have to go give them to people one at a time, first talking, then writing, then printing, then radio, then TV, now with all the speed and convenience of the internet.

It's hard to say how the majority of people will handle it. I doubt most people will be able to adapt to such a noisy information environment. Something has to simplify it for them. But I can't predict at what ratio it will be between sanity-preserving self-imposed ignorance, government censorship, cultural censorship, curious confusion, crowd-sourced information bubbles, or elements I haven't even thought of. The only thing I can say for sure is that it won't be stable.
