Internet is just a medium for any kind of information. Misleading information can be very easy to categorized where it’s coming from–common sense. Be wary of the people who uses the internet as a weapon to destroy your integrity. I’m talking about hackers, cyberbullies, stalkers, and people who redirect contents to your internet traffic, are the ones end users should be vigilant. Some of these people might be considered criminals, but some are the very people who works in telecommunications and IT, uses their expertise to gain their own personal motives

“Freedom of speech ends where hatred and disregard for human dignity begins” Irmela Mensah-Schramm.
Full freedom of speech is creating a fertile ground for all evil.. while No freedom of speech is also a fertile ground for all evil…
The best solution is to find and middle ground between full and none.

Or you can stop being a pleb and do your own research. If you’re getting yourself views from memes and Twiiter posts then disinformation is the least of your worries.

Here’s a solution that has been working for a long time: “don’t trust everything you see on the internet”. The woman suggests fact checking as a way to prevent misinformation, but it has a very dangerous side to it. You can twist things by showing some facts and hiding others. There’s also the fact that history can be rewritten if a lie is repeated long enough. It’s much better to let people do their own research instead, no risk of censorship or some centralized power saying what we should or should not trust.

Wikipedia itself has significant “truth” issues. Let free speech be free. Don’t like what you’ve heard, turn the channel or head to another page. I’d much rather give fools a platform to further highlight what a fool they are than squash free speech.

Yes, this — partly. Good/great idea. End conclusion that it needs a f2f conference to solve it, don’t think that’s supported. Those already exist, in every related field, and many that are, yes, connecting the dots, between the siloes. The wikipedia tack was the right idea. Use the medium itself to produce that global conferencing, not tied to legacy brick-and-mortar obsolete venues that only those with extra cash/time/energy left over can actually make it to. Yes, have TED, and etc. X1000, physically located conferences. But use the especially increasing broadband-as-the-norm, and all the modes that don’t even need that like Wikipedia used for decades now, plus the videoconferencing (G Hangouts, Skype, Facetime, and whatever myriad others), to do the trust-encyclopedia (aka: actual digital community, for the contemporary context as it emergently exists, and aimed toward the future clearly extrapolatable therefrom). In other words, it’s education and economy and society and civics and philosophy and all the age-old solutions, simply recast in this new human crowd cloud form.
