Fighting Misinformation on Social Media | Mohsen Mosleh | TEDxMIT

There is a lot of worry these days about misinformation that's being shared on social media.
The success of this kind of content is both surprising and concerning, and has led to new fields of research exploring how much misinformation is out there, and what leads people to believe and share it. But much less attention has been paid to the more important question: What can actually be DONE about the problem? This is what I have been focusing on, and in this talk, I am going to tell you about one such possible solution and show how it could translate directly into an intervention that social media companies could deploy to fight misinformation online.

Interesting. In the end, was the suggestion that social media companies should try adding a feature that prompts users to consider the accuracy of something they share before they share it? The SM companies would obviously never do anything that might jeopardize engagement without being compelled to by law. If SM requires people to think just a little bit longer before posting something or otherwise primes people to think more critically on the platform, could it make a dent in the spread of misinformation?

There are some people who are spreading wrong info about it fake posts and comments and, and they also making it look like i am taking something from them, and a charity organisation donated somerhing on my name, i never did anything of that sort as I am in a tight spot myself right now . This is wrong and is affecting me.

The World Health Organization has become extraordinarily conflicted, primarily through its funding, and by serving corporate masters, it fails miserably at promoting global health

The WHO will form the foundation for a one world government, under the auspice of coordinating and ensuring global biosecurity. This becomes evident when you review the proposed amendments to the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR) and the WHO Pandemic Treaty

The proposed IHR amendments will erase the concepts of human dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms from the equation. The first principle in Article 3 of the 2005 IHR states that health regulations shall be implemented “with full respect for the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons.” The amendment strikes that sentence

Instead, international health regulations will be based on “principles of equity, inclusivity and coherence” only. This means they can force you to undergo whatever medical intervention they deem to be in the best interest of the collective

The IHR amendments grant dictatorial powers to the WHO director-general and unelected regional directors. The WHO’s “recommendations” will be legally binding by all member states, and will supersede all national and state laws, including the U.S. Constitution

What is the Covid-related mortality for non-elderly persons with no comorbidities?

[FoursWithin]

Yeah, about 2000 years late.
Or maybe 10, 000.

[hpfnwdt]

Too late for winning the misinformation problem.

Instead of just addressing the topic of disinformation and misinformation you fail when you add content matters that can be placed under these evaluations ae: “5G, corona virus, ect., by default your subjective and not objective, you are pre ordaining these topics as conclusive, be the topic more like a definition base, leave current events out.
