Information pollution is hitting us in a series of powerful waves like the next generation after industrial pollution.
From the article:
«Dr Manny Ahmed, CEO of OpenOrigins, a company that distinguishes between AI and real images, says we need a new way for real content posters to be able to prove their clips and pictures are genuine.
"We are already at the point where you cannot confidently tell what is real by inspection alone," he says. "Instead of trying to detect what is fake, we need infrastructure that allows real content to publicly prove its origin."»
BBC article:

Information pollution. Vor 20 Jahren kam der Gedanke auf, dass unnütze, falsche und vor allem übermäßig viele Informationsschnipsel einen schmutzigen Schleier erzeugen können, so als würde jemand Müll in einen klaren Fluss kippen.

It claims you can catch a "regular performance" at the local Arts Society (although they are artists, not actors). #InformationPollution

Inspired by such movements as #SlowFood, #SlowScience, & #SlowResearch, we finally have a call for #SlowSocial: https://medium.com/womentorship/slow-social-the-call-for-a-mindful-digital-revolution-d9b50960eca2. If more people adopt this, we could put a dent in #InformationPollution.
