I agree, truth is difficult to discern on the internet. However, truth can still be heard there.
Truth should be spread face-to-face.
Fixing ID on networks allows for control. Control the information, or know all the information and drop the crumbs you want to focus on, then you control the people. Just keep repeating what you want them to say.
We shouldn't rely on the internet to communicate. It is just a tool.
But, live by the sword, die by the sword.
