Bill Gates says “real invention” needed to stop “misinformation”

Someone should re-invent critical thinking.

Like a digital "town hall" where discussions on topics happen in one public place rather than in biased filter-bubbles?

There is only one reason to meet dozens of times with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker. And it's not "philanthropy".

Such strident authoritarian perspective, so little interest in trying to engender democratic options, ones that might be used to weigh against the disriptive forces. There's no chance here for trying to better distil out a wisdom of the crowds. We're not going to try to let the silent majority be recogized online, make them & push back real.

We'll use force & authority to "stop" the misinformation, build a powerful state that uses force to crush the opposition. No discussion about shades of grey or improving the social or informational climate.

So many very powerful figures advocating such strongly militant new programs of control. Terrible. It's all such a narrowminded view, misses the holistic picture of whats happening so roundly.

So something like Snopes?
