      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?

      It’s definitely fixable

      What? Not with any semblance of freedom of speech it isn't. And even then, I doubt it. The scale is too large. Look at what FB had to do with WhatsApp: remove functionality until the pain was bearable. Unless you mean fixable by the products committing partial suicide...

          "Partial suicide" is an apt description for any reduction in engagement, which is clearly on the menu (pour one out for Trending). As for misinformation: while free speech guarantees a measure of venom there is nothing inevitable about its algorithmic amplification.

          Second clause is casuistry. Either legally or in the public perception around what constitutes 'free speech', amplification is considered part of the right. Consider the right-wing conniptions around 'shadow banning'. Nobody going to accept posting with no distribution.

          please. second clause is absolutely accurate. there's no right to freedom of reach. it's not enshrined in the constitution. it wasn't even a possibility until a 10 yrs ago. conniptions are by people who don't understand how an algorithmic feed works (sometimes willfully ignorant)

          The 'this isn't the government therefore no 1A' arguments about this are the most tiresome and pointless. That's clearly not public perception. If anything, the people who think posting with no feed distribution is speech are the ones who don't seem to get it.

          Instead of me defending what's reality right now, why doesn't one of you opinionated disinformation people actually sketch out a vision of how this would work in practice. Who's doing the truth patrolling? In a world where much news is becoming op-ed, what's held to the standard?

          What's funny is even if you're right, we're still fucked. In a world of wildly divergent values, truth alone is enough to get to Civil War II levels of polarization. Nobody needed to do a viral deepfake of the Kavanaugh hearings for that to become what it did.

          I hate to go all Notebook, but it is conceivable that a way out of this is not in ‘the tech’ but ~within ourselves~. Were a credible authority to argue convincingly that (for eg) sharing fake news was morally wrong, then we might see some changes

          Yes. The only way out of this is human culture around media and virtualized identity changing. Most polls show major differences between pre and post-Internet generations and their views on things like privacy, or discernment between real and fake news. But that takes a while.
