Feel my 2017 post has aged well https://rasmuskleisnielsen.net/2017/01/17/fake-news-an-optimistic-take/… 2/3 --- **Rasmus Kleis Nielsen** @rasmus\_kleis [2025-01-03](https://x.com/rasmus_kleis/status/1875127638261739928) One quibble I still have, is with the bit below from the @FT. It come across as casting (parts of) the public as the core problem? In my view, a more fundamental issue is powerful people who lie and mislead - as I wrote in the FT this time last year! https://ft.com/content/5da52770-b474-4547-8d1b-9c46a3c3bac9… 3/3  --- **neil turkewitz** @neilturkewitz [2025-01-03](https://x.com/neilturkewitz/status/1875168956341969287) Profoundly disagree. Laurie writes “Nobody was tricked into voting for Donald Trump.” Huh? Have you seen what so many Trump voters believe is true? And the notion there was an unhinged deepfake panic reminds me of proclamations that Y2K was a hoax, ignoring preparation/awareness. ## Colophon title:: Thread by @rasmus_kleis type:: [[full-text]] url:: https://x.com/rasmus_kleis/status/1875127633631121866 date:: [[2025-01-07]] published:: 2025-01-04T05:53:02.000Z
