Columbia’s @emilybell has been making an important point in this hearing: The idea that to solve misinfo you just add "more speech" is seductive but ultimately flawed. It’s far easier to pump out bad speech — and the rewards are far greater. Truth *starts* at a disadvantage. — PolitiTweet.org

So refreshing to see @emilybell and @soledadobrien pushing back against “yes-no” lawmaker questions, explaining that these types of questions are purposely designed to elicit context-free answers that don’t help anyone. This is media literacy training in action, folks. — PolitiTweet.org
