These seem like obvious things, but such information needs to be disseminated on a regular basis. We should accept that today's society is built on the mechanism of information manipulation.

Absolutely, you've got it! I'm in the home stretch now at the University, heading towards a degree from the Faculty of Political Science. We've been really getting into discussions recently about the quality of information in our world. In fact, we've churned out a ton of student essays exploring different angles of the subject https://edubirdie.com/examples/fake-news/, so there's a lot to delve into. When you look around, you'll see an ocean of information that's growing faster than Jack's beanstalk. Among all that information, some nuggets are gold, others not so much. I believe that if we all became more discerning about the type of information we consume and its source, we could reduce the demand. In turn, this would lessen the spread of misleading and harmful content.
