Asking "how do we counter disinformation" while ignoring that most-used sources of information are centralized, oligarch-owned social media, is like asking "how do we manage fever" while ignoring most sources of drinking water are contaminated by sewage.

Instead of focusing solely on symptoms, we should really focus on the underlying causes.

@rysiek well, we need to do both. While these systems exist and have influence, vulnerable people are at risk. It's very important to manage symptoms AND causes. Doing one without the other rarely leads to good outcomes.

@noodlemaz you're not wrong. Like many a hot-take, mine was not nuanced. :blobcat:
