@arstechnica Define misinfo, who decides what is misinfo? When the experts have been wrong over and over again that means you need new experts.

@arstechnica If "research" "confirms" a centuries old stereotype: women to old to bear your children are gossips, is that research likely to be rigorous, well-conducted and well-done, or not?

@arstechnica My own mother is one of these. I don't know what to do. I can't block it on all of her devices and even if I did, she receives some misinformation straight from misinformation sources via email and etc. What can one even do when a person is just willingly indoctrinated?

Though her poison of choice is Facebook of course. She believes she is an "independent" but actually is hardcore republican (repeating republican propaganda word for word and believing every bit of it.)
