With every new communication medium comes new responsibility.
When radio was first introduced, it was rife with misinformation and false advertising. One Dr. Brinkly made a fortune selling fake goat testicle transplants (for treating ED) over the radio, only to relocate it to the Mexican border when he was shut down. He made so much money that he ran for Governor and received 30% of the vote.
We're kind of in the same place right now, but with a much broader medium. How we move forward is anyone's guess.
