    Trust it as much as it shows itself to have your interests in mind, or how well you judge it to be working towards the intended purpose.

      I don’t necessarily trust info that claims to have my interest in mind because that how con artists approach their marks. They find a common problem, then confidently proclaim that have the perfect solution.

        I said “shows itself to” not “claims it does”. Big difference.

          Is there a difference on social media? Unless they cite sources or I independently verify it, how are those different?

            I thought we were talking about trusting or not trusting the “central authority”? I think you’re thinking about trusting individual posters or not.
