Lydia Polgreen, The Guardian; The collapse of the information ecosystem poses profound risks for humanity
"When the scientists behind the Doomsday clock published their yearly
assessment of how close we are to planetary doom, they added a new
dimension to the dual threats of nuclear proliferation and climate
change, namely “the intentional corruption of the information ecosystem
on which modern civilization depends”.
What we’ve seen in recent years isn’t just the collapse of
informational authority. It is the destruction of the pact between the
purveyors of quality information and the businesses that wanted to reach
the consumers of that information...
Just as companies decarbonize their businesses, they should think
carefully about how they contribute to the destruction of our
information ecosystem and choose to reach consumers on platforms that
slow rather than increase the pace of information ecosystem collapse."
