[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if there is a way to fight back with  a counter-flood-the-zone, and to do it across all social media.  For example, open, transparent bots for good rather than the current arrangement of stealthy bots for evil.  Have a community curated bank of calmly written and well reasoned fact checks with sources and citations and have monitoring set up on social media to detect the disinformation and automatically respond, along with AI agents to look for any new politics-related topics on social media that are generating controversy or viral activity and alert the community to research the item and write up the fact check for it.  Then the trolls spreading disinformation will be outed and countered everywhere they go, and it will make their lives so much harder and their techniques so much less effective.  I'm sure there are people and organizations out there who would be willing to support and resource something like that.[/quote]

Sure - as long as bots from ALL SIDES are called out.  But somehow, I don't think you'd like that too much.[/quote]
