Curb anti-intellectualism in cyberspace

I have started to use WeChat, Tencent's popular instant messaging app, to communicate with family and friends back home, and I really enjoy its convenience. But one unfortunate tendency I see is its ability to spread biased, misleading or even wrong information as people share one post after another.

For instance, after former British prime minister John Major met with the Dalai Lama in 1991, all his successors have followed his example, ignoring the fact that the political exile has long been engaged in anti-China and secessionist activities.
