At root, this topic is about "misinformation". The topic is interesting as misinformation itself may be subject to misinformation! I'm sure most would agree that the topic is politicised at the very least.
One thing that we can look into at is just how effective misinformation really is. Another thing is to examine how we approach the topic. Do we see people around us as "the masses" that are easily brainwashed and influenced but ourselves as rational, free thinkers? What are the impacts of a culture that is growing to believe that its own people can be easily brain washed or that its people should be protected from harmful information.
