I can see that I suppose; social media is at times good for holding the media to account when it provides misinformation (where in the past, there wasn't really a voice right there saying "lol this is nonsense")... however, I don't think that means that the things that ARE claimed on social media are likely to be any more accurate. Some of the trash that gets shared around is mind-boggling... like "inspirational quotes about women that Einstein said", then you try to look it up, and find that the original quote just said "people" not "women"... ... and it wasn't even Einstein.
