Most people are sensible

UK's national academy of sciences, The Royal Society has published a report on what it calls the "online information environment," challenging some key assumptions behind the movement to de-platform conspiracy theorists spreading hoax info on topics like climate change, 5G, and the coronavirus.
The Royal Society said that while online misinformation is rampant, its influence may be exaggerated, at least in the UK.

"The vast majority of respondents believe the COVID-19 vaccines are safe, that human activity is responsible for climate change, and that 5G technology is not harmful," the report said.

The report felt that the impact of so-called echo chambers may be similarly exaggerated and there's little evidence to support the "filter bubble" hypothesis (basically, algorithm-fuelled extremist rabbit holes).
