One has to wonder if we wouldn't be better off without social media. Sure, it's done a lot of good in helping people connect and exchange ideas, but some of those people aren't acting in good faith, and some of those ideas are just plain terrible. I don't claim to have the full solution, but it would be a great first step if the equivalent of a fairness doctrine were to be introduced to the algorithms these platforms use to weed out rampant misinformation.
