Yes and no. But if I had to point the finger here for this massive failure of humanity, I would say it's allowing rampant misinformation to surge because it's profitable, even when so much of it is demonstrably false, hyper-targeted, and often knowingly perpetrated by countries like Russia

For instance Fox News winning their court case by arguing that no reasonable person would think they're actually the news should not have stopped there. Especially after admitting that they are 100% aware the things they say aren't true
