except at the moment we're dealing with highly organized paid misinformation campaigns and widespread propaganda under the guise of free speech. This will not be popular on Hn but in my opinion holding users and platforms responsible for the messages they distribute to millions is the inevitable evolution and future of social media, society has demonstrated the inability to responsibly handle anonymous unchecked mass…

This abuse is most common in State of Andhra Pradesh (Whose chief minister claims he invested IT and claims to have influenced Satya Nadella enter into software :) ). 1. https://www.mirchi9.com/politics/one-case-abuse-ysrcp-social... 2.
