RE: Can the Scientific Community Better Respond to 'Fake News' in Science?

in #fakenews7 years ago

Bad science that is retracted should be removed from search engines to prevent people from thinking it's a valid study to use for coming to conclusions about something

And many people will say it's censorship!

Yup, it's not a solution, I forgot to mention that as I have in a previous fake news post. The media is trying to control what people can get in terms of identifying falsity and truth, instead of educating people on how to think independently and critically to be able to evaluate information themselves. They are trying to make information overlord "watchers" through social media tools and censorship of information. None of this helps truth get out, but makes us more dependent on the mainstream media to tell us what to believe.
