The rise of misinformation, what was once laughed off and not taken seriously only 10+ years ago, is now absolutely concerning. The fact that it is responsible for Trump's re-election, election interference in general from foreign entities, oligarchs attaining more corporate control over our politicians, and now influential tech bros hopping into the VIP section of the misinformation train that affect our daily media, all while attempting to intentionally mislead certain easily-manipulated demographics of citizens, is now in a level of dangerousness that we as the majority of people should be extremely worried about.
