That’s exactly right. And also because we don’t do administrative take-downs, the social sectors, the journalists actually have more room to work because in our K-12 curriculum we don’t teach media literacy anymore. We teach media competence, meaning that instead of being just readers and viewers of data and journalism, everybody is essentially a producer of data and narratives, and that too is enabled by the broadband as human rights policy. And that enabled, when people want to fact check, for example, the presidential debates, then they can recruit thousands of, I’m sure, middle schoolers. When I was 15 years old if there was such a crowdsourced fact checking I would have joined. And so basically the idea is that everybody learns a little bit on how to make memes like funny pictures and so on, that also doubles as clarifications and so on.
