This bite is hilarious. Or scary as hell, I dont know.
Vivek & Kirk basically believe free speech is more important than enforcing truth, and they even consider the later as "one of the scariest thing they've heard". They're completely confused between scientific dialectic, which is healthy and is happening between experts, and people having opinions, which in their views, are as valuable as expert's opinions. Like, what the actual fuck?? This is so demagogic.

I mean, they have a point with "who decides misinformation?", but their logical conclusion, which is basically "there's no truth, everybody can have opinions and we have to respect that" is completely flawed.

Does community notes fix this? A real robust community notes. Maybe even publicly owned and has to be at the foot of every post, video, etc ...

Social media is just too harmful to people and its going to take some kind of 100% neutral service thats required to be on all USA social media from now on.

*GASP* regulations.

Yeah I was thinking about that. You may be able to fix them with users reputations n scores having more weight etc .. but it's a tough problem.

Id like to say major countries like the USA should better educate their citizenry and also teach media literacy but that's not going to happen.

Hmmm, yes and no.
Community notes are weaponized unfortunately.
They're also sometimes used in a bad faith way, trying to discredit a whole argument by debunking a minor point of said argument.
