      When will the media realize the Facebook misinformation problem isn't easily fixable via humans or AI, is endemic to a planet's-worth of humans interacting unmediated via social apps, and will always be there in some form, assuming there's a semblance of free speech?

      But nobody afaik is saying it can be _fixed_; they're saying it can be _mitigated_ more than it currently is.

      Sure, but even at that level we're still fucked. The recent MIT Twitter study (biggest credible study to date) showed that real, live humans spread 6x more misinformation than bots. Unless you remove the right of posting nonsense by humans, there's no immediate solution.

      Sure there is. Stop optimizing for engagement, by which I mean, stop showing people posts just because lots of people have engaged with those posts in one way or another.

      Assuming social media exists in some form like today, I can't see that going away. Twitter couldn't exist without it. Neither could FB.

      Sure it could. It did for years. It wouldn't be near as successful or profitable, true. But "there's no immediate solution" is very _very_ different from "there's no immediate solution consonant with their business model."

      Twitter made a profit of $100 million before stock-based compensation in 2014, btw, during which its timeline was purely chronological, and when its ad offerings were nowhere near as advanced and lucrative as they are today.

      Ok. But this isn't Canada. The government can't force companies to run themselves like utilities rather than businesses.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
