The silver lining might be its hardly worse than how its already been. People complain we are entering an era of a firehose of falsehood. Its been that way since propaganda was rebranded as public relations after the first world war, probably longer even. You never are exposed to the full truth, the facts, the contexts. The incentives to shift opinions are too high to ever simply faithfully educate the populace. Control of the common narrative of “truth” is highly profitable, and these reins of power will never not be controlled by some entity.
