Common sense starts to become a lot less common when education systems start to fail.

IMO schools should have a subject like "media" which informs about how desinformation, conformation bias and social media algorithms work in creating filter bubbles and "alternate" facts.

Interestingly, when I was in high school some 15 years ago, we did have one week where we went over determining the reliability of a source and media literacy. (No social media algorithms though.)

Of course a bunch of the other kids in my class complained about it the whole time and said they would never need it. Judging from what I know of them now, they indeed never used those skills.
