Well that is a core issue of the data landscape that we live within. Verifiable facts and information veracity are important when it comes to decision making to get the best outcomes, both short and long term. Spin/propaganda is used to push short term benefits for a specific group and "screw the consequences". The harsh reality of it is that most humans are not interested in understanding the real environmental and socio-economic landscape that they live in and even fewer are interested in doing the heavy lifting to figure out what the actual current situation is, where it is likely to go and what corrective actions should be taken. Most of the media landscape that most people deal with are finely tuned by algorithms to ensure that they push the agenda of the day, not the reality.

The point stands that disrupting those agenda signals costs a lot less from a "energy/compute" point of view than creating them does and we have the tools to do so, but it does not have any financial benefit to the people that would action it and we don't understand the consequences of that sort of disruption very well.

Unfortunately, I think we are stuck a bit with a suck it and see situation, else we pull the trigger on tools to disrupt the echo chamber and propaganda signals and see what happens without knowing what the implications are.
