...whether it was by a cult, by propaganda, by an algorithm, etc...

On a related note, I think libraries do need a bit of a facelift, and not just be "the place where books live". It's important to keep that function, but also expand to "a place where learning happens". I know lots of libraries are doing this sort of thing, but your average person is probably still stuck in the "place where books live" mindset, as you allude. I'm talking stuff like 3D printers, makerspaces, diybio, classes about detecting internet bullshit, etc.

I went to a library the other day to do some work on my laptop. I had A2 prints I was transcribing notes for.
