    In US English classes at any level above middle school, the importance of finding valid sources and providing citations is emphasized, although that’s mainly for essays and the like.

    I could imagine it would be possible to adapt that mindset towards social media as well. Provide your sources, so you can prove you understand what you are saying. The foundations are there, they just need to be applied.

      Except there are plenty of “sources” that spew even more BS. We can’t even trust what comes out of our government anymore (by design).
