A significant portion of social media posts are filled with simply false information. I recently got into an argument with someone on Facebook, but stopped when they admitted they weren’t confident Covid-19 is caused by a virus.
The level of misinformation has reached a point where I wish I could pay for a service to fact check my Facebook feed, Twitter feed, YouTube videos, etc. I wish these platforms would allow third party filters to plug-in to their platforms and modify feed content and search results. I can imagine many more uses for these filters such as checking for inappropriate content for children or avoiding triggering content for trauma survivors. I can imagine a mix of AI and Humans being involved in these filters, and large number of people subscribing to popular filters.
