As I read I was thinking I'd like to see solutions as well as a (well researched, much appreciated!) description of problems.
And there it was, a suggested solution! Issuing corrections.
Alas, I cannot see my 80ish mother connecting a correction weeks later to a post/ad she read (over and over) last month.
The pace of communication is too fast and the cost of participation is too low. Wish I had a suggestion for a solution.
Not a solution, but a hope at least: I believe younger people are used to marketing/advertising saturating their lives and know to question the assertions. We now have the means to quickly research any subject: instant access and no (additional) costs other than time.
Maybe the solution is simply the passing of generations. Not everyone will seek facts, and haters will hate, but that has always been part of humanity and we have survived.
