Just take a look at social media.

A false story will propagate and get thousands or hundreds of thousands of retweets and likes and spread like wildfire. The correction? Maybe a few hundred if you're lucky.

Sometimes I feel like we're living in a real life block chain. Whatever version of a story gets out first becomes the immutable truth. Nothing you can say or post has the ability to change that or reel it back in.
