MASS MEDIA PROBLEM

Creating/causing any positive/negative sensation in general public means many more clicks/eyeballs for all mass media outlets!
But, truly sensational news is quite rare in the real world, so mass media is always like "the boy who cried wolf"!
Some smart people can surely tell they have been misled/tricked/lied (after reading/watching/listening a clickbait/fakenews article/video/podcast) but IMHO most people often cannot!
People of general public are always full of people w/ outrageously wrong views/ideas!
Where they are came from & why they cannot ever be corrected?

IMHO, this ongoing situation is constant massive harm/danger for whole humanity, going forward!
What can be done to improve the situation?
IMHO, first & foremost, facts & opinions need to be separated on all mass media, permanently!
 
IMHO, if mass media was criticized/pressured on this (by general public & governments) there could be improvement but it would not be permanent!
Because, the pressure & opportunity to easily create false sensational news & make more money is always present!
Sooner or later, more & more of mass media outlets would start again!
(Any which is not doing it would be in a huge income disadvantage against the ones which are doing it!)

So, only true permanent improvement/solution would be making permanent national/global law(s), which makes mandatory, for all mass media outlets, to always clearly separate (& mark so) facts & opinions!

(202012067) SOCIAL MEDIA PROBLEM:
IMHO, ALL internet social media companies/websites should/must be forced (by national/global law(s)) to:
Always force all user profiles to be private!
Always discourage strangers (in real life/world) becoming social media friends!
Never allow strangers commenting/responding to any user posts (& only allow like (& dislike) clicks)!
Never allow strangers sending messages to any users!
Never allow posting of videos of any dangerous stunts!
Never allow illegal/exploitative/manipulative/bullying/disrespectful comments/messages/content!
(Never allow social media companies/websites to provide news (feed)!)
