The answer is simple, you make social media sites legally responsible for the contents. No more of this pathetic we are just the host the content is nothing to do with us. The have algorithms that do a fantastic job of promoting the content which could easily be re-applied to removing the dross.

Twitter for example could remove 99% of the bot accounts tomorrow they are so obvious and follow such clear patterns AI could be trained to do it in no time.

With regard to Twitter and misinformation we're going to have to learn how to live with it. The genie is out of the bottle and one way or another it is going to spread even if we regulate individual platforms to the point of death.

It's an evolution of the village gossip spreading rumours and lies.

The issue is that these lies spread over huge networks, instantly.

There is also deliberate misinformation.

Twitter is cited on OCUK threads frequently, with no checks, and the lies are wolfed down by people who want to believe them.

Many people are taken in by them, for whatever reason, and the damage is done.

It is very annoying.

Oh look, turns out it wasn’t rubbish, and was correct counter information to rubbish.

It’s amazing what some basic critical analysis of the credibility of sources can do.

Low iq racist right wing twitter accounts, probably not credible.

High iq left wing well educated twitter account, credible.

I dont think that is even accurate. It was at the same time as the vigil but it wasn't at the vigil.

Yet at the same time, he somehow needs to address the problem of excessive misinformation that led to / was used as an excuse for rioting at a mosque.

He can't tiptoe around these issues but likely will for fear of inciting more violent reactions.

Of course he didn't. That's the problem with ALL politicians for differing reasons. The Tories have been pandering to these people, without doing too much to actually tackle the thing they want addressing (immigration) and now Labour are in, and the pandering has stopped, they are throwing their toys out of the pram.
