The internet has always been a place to bully because people cannot see your face. I remember playing online games in high school, and people would say the wildest things before the match starts. Even in other games to chat, people do not care. These days, with the popularity of Discord and Twitch, people can say whatever they want. They will get banned for a few days and then return to doing the same thing they did last week. I am not saying I agree with it, but I do not see this going away anytime soon.
All types of misinformation are going to spread, and I think sometimes even mentioning—whether we believe it or not—is part of the problem. Take the video about ballots being manipulated for example. Word of mouth or posting it on social media is part of the problem because the idea is engraved into our brains.
Verified does a good job at trying to prevent that. If the first person who found out about that, or heard about it, did some digging and found out it was false information, then the whole fabricated story would not have been spread. We would never have even known about it. The media wants us to believe it, so if we do our own research, then we can tell what news we should listen to, and which ones should be avoided.
