Tech predictions often fail not because of wrong models or a lack of imagination but due to a lack of humility in admitting our uncertainties about the future.
Implementing more stringent regulations for Social Media Platforms is crucial to effectively combat the proliferation of fake news.
Things that matter the most must never be at the mercy of things that matter the least.
