      Since Brexit I have reflected almost daily on ways that the web has undermined what we assumed would support us. Daily/hourly of late.https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/800193004174589952 …

      But this cuts a lot deeper. It's not just slow sites, it's the inability for folks to understand what's true. My industry has done that.

          Case in point: why don't web browsers send headers to websites that say what ads you'll accept?

          that's not true, publications have mislead forever; the sad thing is published stories now so easy to verify yet aren't

          Is this that different from period of "yellow journalism" at end of 1800's? Tech has a role, but so do strong institutions.
