To paraphrase Monty Python
“supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony" (or authority based on a self declaration)
In the age of ai, where you can flood the zone with easily generated content, even a democratic society might struggle to maintain an stable sense of shared reality and history
all the more necessary to have trusted curators of information
maybe some community-driven and curated source blacklist could be implemented. It thing it would be too much for you doing that alone :)
