Access to information is more equalized than ever before.
But simply having access to information whenever people want doesn't necessarily make people better informed, or more skilled at critical thinking, or more able to exercise good judgement...etc.
Information =/= knowledge, let alone being able to utilize knowledge effectively.
And there are still big inequities in access to information, both within the population and between the population vs. governments and corporations. Some would say that those inequities are a good thing.
