A democracy needs informed citizens. Poor education and manipulation from politicians makes it easy to fool someone in to voting against their own interests.

most of all media needs to be about truth and authenticity

freedom of speech and anonymity fundamentalists don't recognise the threat to democracy

equally censorship and doxxing is also bad for democracy

there must be a balance and at the moment it is far too tipped towards liars
