Decentralized Truth Erodes Societal Trust
The Malaysia Trust Index rising could suggest trust stabilizing or even improving in at least one market, which partially matches the falsification criteria of trust stabilizing rather than eroding. The EU disinformation article shows continued attention to disinformation research but doesn't clearly indicate whether funding/investment is growing or declining, nor does it speak to societal trust erosion directly. Neither article provides strong, direct evidence confirming accelerating distrust or clearly rising media-literacy investment.
What would prove this wrong
Funding and attention to media-literacy/anti-disinformation initiatives stalls or declines, or if trust in fragmented information sources stabilizes rather than eroding further.
