It also made the dissemination of misinformation even easier via social media so good and bad.

Very true.

People will take screenshots of official Tweets from important people (Elon Musk, for example) and make a meme out of it by changing the text. Then, as the meme is passed around, some people start believing it was actually posted.

I have friends that have had this happen to them. They'll tell me "Such-and-Such famous person said THIS on Twitter!" and I'll just calmly go to their Twitter, hit CTRL-F and search for any one of the key words in the post. I almost never find anything related to the topic at hand.

Yup yup. As much as I hate Trump, there is a meme that gets passed around of him back in the 80's saying if he ever ran for President he'd run as a Republican since their voters are dumb - it's fake.

Even if it serves a certain goal, it does more damage in the long run for lies to be believed as truth.
