I said "shows itself to" not "claims it does". Big difference.
Is there a difference on social media? Unless they cite sources or I independently verify it, how are those different?
I thought we were talking about trusting or not trusting the "central authority"? I think you're thinking about trusting individual posters or not.
Both. I don't trust a central authority to make judgments on who to or not to trust on social media and I don't trust individuals who post anything other then shallow opinions. If I make some heavy claim online, I always post a source when possible.
We're already seeing how accentual authorizes are demonetizing posts for using words that advertisers don't like. I saw a discussion on the nazi imagery used for villains in a certain show get autobanned for promoting hate speech.
Sounds like you shouldn't trust those people then. We are in agreement.
