The threat of misinformation to social progress

We have seen first hand the impact that the spread of misinformation has on society and the chaos it can cause. From covid, to climate change, to the conflict in Ukraine, we have seen how false and misleading information online can have very real world consequences. However, it's not only on a global scale that we are affected, but even on a local level misinformation is rife in our communities. How we fix this and where the responsibilities lie is a hotly contested issue. But one thing that most agree on is that we must do something and soon, the future of social progress and arguably democracy, is at stake.
