Education hasn’t worked seeing how fascism has successfully taken hold through american social media, and no transparency over algorithms.

This is because the very same people that were pro-oligarchy were previously seen by the left as being friendlies that they should entrust because of their big dollar donations. It is time to take money out of politics. I didn’t say you shouldn’t regulate social media, especially transparency of the code & algorithms.

And it’s not like only dumb uneducated people who have been lured into it. Those with educated backgrounds are just as easily influenced. That there are antivax nurses tells you everything there is to know about how effective education is.

I’ve known plenty of dumb nurses even before the pandemic. I’ve known alcoholic ones, drug-addicted ones, etc. To blame it on social media is ignoring everything else. Let’s not forget the number of nurses & even doctors that believe in a magical sky creature controlling what happens on Earth.

I don’t think banning things is the right approach. That is censorship & bolsters fascism, not stop it. Education is the most important. If you’re worried about misinformation, then educate people about it.
