        No, they’ve got plenty of access. They just don’t want to be exposed to anything that challenges their indoctrination.

          While that may be true. The filter bubble is also a very real thing.
          Social media sites earn their money by your attention. And try to keep it as long as possible, with all the tricks in the books, and some they invented.
          So when someone belives something. They search about it. And belive they have done research. When they find what the site belive keeps them engaged.

          Some have medical degrees and will actively ignore anything that doesn’t fit with the Jeebus.

          Religion and capitalism will be the legacy humans leave behind and it’s a shit one

        Or rather too much access to too many non-credible sources.

        Meaning, we need to remove shit like Twitter from the net already.
