    And who decides what is truth or misinformation? You? The government? Don’t make me laugh.

      A well informed and well educated population. What is truth and what’s misinformation isn’t really a matter of opinion. There’s reality and there’s fantasy, some people just prefer the latter. The government and myself don’t control the flow of information.

        I’d argue that the loudest people decide what’s considered “truth” by the public. Remember when cigarettes were considered healthy in the 50s and 60s, yet science previously proved otherwise? This was simply due to advertising campaigns and lobbying from tobacco companies. I’d also argue that this and similar styles of misinformation are more prevalent today than ever.
