The state and the railroads have always been allowed to do what they want and the EPA as an agency barely has any teeth. Because of the public outcry the EPA has been allowed to tell the railroad no. And turns out Texas and Michagan didn't feel like taking the usual waste. Which means the EPA *gets * to review the plans before they are enacted. They weren't allowed before. This is real progress which is just as sad as the deregulation that led to this horrible situation.

I feel like the logical end to all of this will need to be AI based information filters. You can't trust the generating side of information anymore, so we need to control what's ingested.

I'd say trying to properly control this may be a defining moment in human history. You could end up having a "Western filter" vs a "Russian filter" and we've logically hit the end state of human information silos.

Ensuring we use fair, open, and auditable filters is the only way to build general trust. But bad actors will try to control their own filter. I believe this is already happening at a smaller scale with China.
