    Not sure how rampant fake news is in other non-English speaking countries, but the Chinese Internet is riddled with sensational stories that are hard for individuals to verify, but easily forwarded to friends and family.

    Now with ChatGPT/Deepfake and the like more readily available, the situation will be even worse. To combat this kind of disinformation, an actual “Ministry of Truth” will be required, based on a database of verified information and using logic to verify new stories and claims. Things like Wikipedia or Baidu百科 won’t cut it.
