Xy has anyone else felt that livestreaming / long form podcasts could be one potential solution for fake news? many companies will do r&d to make things more difficult to copy. the length of a livestream or long form podcast adds that level of complexity.

🔻 Trinity Yes. I wrote propaganda before the fake news "crisis" was considered so, and it was (and still is) concerningly easy to get people to believe anything you write. Hitler's propaganda was an excellent blueprint - make big lies, not small falsehoods - but I bet in the future agencies will look at the Donald Trump campaign (and presidency) as their inspiration. The new frontier is in Internet memes. I'm not a nazi btw, I was just 12 and bored.

🗿 Simohamed In my country, It's sensational news that are the real threat. I wish I could explain, but bums are given huge amounts of airtime and national attention for weeks on end. Or, outright silly news. A man loves his goat and vows not to slaughter it comes Al-Eid (religious holiday) is apparently news. And TikTok has not been kind to us at all.

🥨 Shruthi We're living through a time where there's not much consensus on values, and values inform how your perceive what's true. Seems like in the short term you've got to figure out sources you personally and trust but don't expect that these will be universally agreed upon
