"Former President Barack Obama suggested the development of "digital fingerprints" to combat misinformation and distinguish between true and misleading news for consumers."
The future will bring a forced digital ID for all to be able to use the internet as well as social services. We see that everything has an app, or a website now so you'll never be able to leave the system. The surveillance state is already all encompassing and it is near impossible to be anonymous on the internet, but this will be the final nail in the coffin.
Here in my country they stopped people from being anonymous on news websites for commenting, of course saying that this would stop hate speech. Recently these hate speech laws have been used to jail people, as well as fine them for their opinions. As much as I hate racists, the only way to fight bad ideology is to counter it with good ideology. The same goes for "misinformation".
All in all, the news agencies connected to the alphabet groups will be the lords of the truth and everything that does not go with that will be mis- or disinformation, as we saw with the coronavirus.
