Frankly all the evidence I’ve seen is as far removed from that as possible. People on both the left and the right become crumbling emotional wrecks if their world view is in anyway challenged. And this heralds the use of the term “fake news” not pointed towards genuine fakery but just desperately at anything that makes us feel uncomfortable.

I’m totally anti censorship, I think the only imposition upon free speech should be incitement. But you’ll forgive me if I’m not seeing the same glorious age emerging resulting from challenging what is wrong as you are.
Millions of people will do it. Some badly, others well. Already happening. Look at Wikipedia as an example. Doesn't it amaze you how much effort so many private and unpaid individuals put into that? Some people are like that. Hobbies, interests, a desire to inform, whatever the reason. When you have billions of people only a small percentage is required to build an army. Compare with the tiny number of gatekeepers trying to do it all. People power is exponentially more powerful and effective than establishment power. Right now, if Wikipedia went off message it could be seized or shut down. Those options are now being removed. The dinosaur Twitter is sitting in front of other dinosaurs, to try to figure out dinosaur methods to retain dinosaur supremacy - some 30 years after it all being too late for them.
