We really need to invest in education. Twenty years ago. Maybe thirty.
Education is not the problem. It's painfully obvious that big tech is colluding with oligarchs and their corporations/lobbyists to brainwash their user base with disinformation.
We need to invest in outlawing surveillance capitalism, along with all the psychological profiling, warfare, and information islands/bubbles it is designed to amplify.
Something shielded me from it, and I basically live in the internet.
I do too, but I don't use conventional social media so I'm not spoon fed information based on some algorithm of my historic activity. I actively avoid using "accounts" pretty much everywhere until I need to buy something.
The way I receive information is more like RSS and crowdsourcing.
Either way, they don't need to target everyone. They just need to target the most ignorant subset of the population.
