Selective Content To Create A Distortion Field

The misinformation and disinformation propagated by social media create a chain reaction of harm, acting as a force multiplier for exacerbating our worst problems as a society.

Focusing on content alone distracts from the core problem of social media.

Social media reduces belief in science and medicine, weakens trust in longstanding institutions, drives acceptance of ridiculous conspiracy theories, and damages faith in democracy. But you will find the same hate, the same disinformation throughout history.

Offensive and divisive content has always existed.
