Its also an incredible resource for finding misinformation and disinformation unfortunately.
That's an issue with any form of information sharing, though. Your local library is full of false information as well, whether that's because it's outdated or because you live somewhere like the US where all school curriculum books have to be approved by a Texas based group per federal law.
Lies spread faster than the truth, and the internet is great at spreading information.
