Then how do we fix the internet?

I disagree with your premise that the internet is broken or that society is broken because of it. I think the pros of having a tool like the internet far outweigh the cons.

The points you bring up in this topic are legitimate problems. I don't think there's an easy solution for them because the internet is a tool for facilitating communication and the spread of information. It's just as easy to spread information as it is misinformation or bad information.

The only real solution to that is moderation of content and teaching people how to double-check information and to cite sources. The problem with moderation is that it can lead to censorship and the problem with the latter is that a lot of people aren't very smart or are intellectually lazy.
