Well for the majority of human existence we got by on talking to each other in person. So I think the collapse of humanity is a bit dramatic.

Now, as we've seen with torrenting, if any country doesn't comply or enforce laws against how their citizens should interact with the internet you can just VPN through that country to do what you want.

Ok so

Create the infrastructure for an entire world government.
Force every country to join and fully enforce laws tying every person to their online accounts.
Of course this will create a dangerous police-state like China's government for many countries where speaking out against your government is dealt with harshly. So either abolish free speech or fix all corruption in all the countries in the world.
Of course this level of control over the world will attract a lot of corruption itself, so build an unassailable global set of checks and balances for how this government should be run that literally everyone on earth can agree on.

Proper journalism.

Well for the majority of human existence we got by on talking to each other in person. So I think the collapse of humanity is a bit dramatic.

We never had the ability to con each other over so completely and in very large numbers than we do today with the Internet and specialized Networks.

And more importantly, you always knew you were talking to another person, and not a conflict bot or an astroturfing bot, or a political party bot, etc. Now, you don't, which is my point. We can't solve problems if we don't know we're talking to a person versus a not person.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss what I'm saying.

Proper journalism.

If the last couple of years proves anything, that's not going to save us, not that alone.

You're making an assumption that 100% of people are aware enough to consume the proper journalism and make the proper decisions.

Right now large swaths of people are being convinced the things that are not true through improper journalism.
