Is technology smart enough to fix the fake news frenzy? | John Naughton:
An excellent, timely, thought-provoking article. Good conceptualisation of the complex assemblages in which technology is implicated, and the political, economic and social ramifications of it. Interesting, too, to consider how assessments of technology being able to ‘make up’ for human failure or inadequacy can shift depending on our appraisal of those failures and inadequacies.

Thanks for a succinct comment on the article (mine on my Lifestream was much more wordy…). And I like your connection with assemblages – that’s helpful in trying to understand that concept.
