“We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.”

If we believe in democratic order, let us put science and knowledge back at the heart of things, let us put scientific authority back at the heart of things, let us put culture, education and learning back at the heart of things
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!
We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Can We Keep Our Minds—and Democracy? We are living through a profound transformation in how information shapes our world. The shared facts and institutional trust that once underpinned our democracy are being replaced by an environment driven by algorithmic curation, polarisation, and manipulation.
Information overload: Can we keep our minds and our democracy?
Algorithms and echo chambers are fracturing Australian society, but the democratic discourse hasn’t switched off yet.

Who should do the fact checks with millions and millions of fake news? The nature of social media itself is the problem. However it probably is impossible to get rid of every social network and revert debates to pre 2010-status.
