Fascinating. I had not heard of that game. Do the dialogue takes place while people play that game or is it some introduction to the game? I am not into games, so, please excuse my ignorance of how they work.
Now, does your use of quotation marks in problem mean you do not see us as deprived of free will? I want to believe we can always have a say; we can choose whether to believe the fake news or not and whether to act upon it (and how) or not.

The scene is from the end of the game.
Well, mostly it's not a real "problem" because it's shockingly easy to distinguish FACTS from OPINIONS.
FACTS must be empirically demonstrable and or logically necessary QUANTA (emotionally meaningless).
OPINIONS must be personal, experiential, unfalsifiable, GNOSIS, private QUALIA (emotionally meaningful).

Hahaha. I loved that movie. Did not remember that part, though. Now that you bring it up...
The thing is that in this information age (which in the documentary is called the disinformation age), we have people presenting facts about, say a successful treatment for covid-19, and 5 minutes later we have another source offering fact/stats/cases saying exactly the opposite about said treatment and offering either a different one, based on some more facts or a helpless scenario according to which no treatment works 100% yet. It's very frustrating not to be able to fat-check some of these sources and when we see, especially among the scientific community, this kind of discrepancy we feel really lost.
I know lots of people who have opted for disconnecting themselves from any news or social media feed to just keep their sanity and peace of mind.
I think the whole "problem" is just an excuse for CENSORSHIP.
It would be extremely simple to teach school children the difference between FACTS and OPINIONS.
