Comments
  • Conspiracies, fake news and misinfo are a huge problem but I believe a government task-force may actually exacerbate the issue. I also would be skeptical that social media companies can be trusted to target online harassment. They don't care about users, just profit; and tackling these issues are not profitable. This ties back into fake news and one of the ways it could be targetted is by making companies such as facebook liable for adverts they publish. 99% of these conspiracies start there and are promoted through ad services
