He mentions that Finland, which just elected a young, progressive Prime Minister, is one of the world leaders in "digital literacy," and also one whose citizens are some of the best at detecting fake news. But, at least around here, it seems people gobble up fake news, because it's both entertaining and reinforces what they already believe. I don't know if that was ever true in Finland but, if so...how do you educate people to be suspicious of such entertaining, self-validating messages without coming across with the sort of "eat your spinach" attitude that usually will be met with knee-jerk rejection here in the U.S. (and I'm guessing the U.K. as well)?
