Ernest Hemingway once said that to be a great writer, you needed “a built-in, shock-proof crap detector.â€
These days, you need one just to navigate the internet.
The online world was supposed to be a zone of free expression, a democratic space where the truth would eventually prevail, because netizens were essentially rational, thinking beings capable of discerning fact from fiction, fabrication, false assumptions, wishful thinking, obfuscation, misdirection, propaganda, spin, half-truths, untruths and all manner of skullduggery.
