“Most people’s experience with misinformation isn’t true crime-obsessed Instagram moms looking for zip ties in Target parking lots or insurrectionist QAnon shamans. It’s just entertainment now…You read and share this stuff because it’s salacious and exciting and funny. And no amount of media literacy or whatever is going to make it not funny to speculate about a literal princess getting a BBL and hiding it to protect her reputation.”
