What would be so bad about at&t offering a service that banned fraudsters from calling you? Or if the USPS refused to deliver mail that said "URGENT TIME SENSITIVE" on the envelope unless the sender could prove it really was urgent?
As someone with elderly relatives who've fallen for scams over email (which major email providers already do block, automatically), I would celebrate both of those outcomes.

- mememachine 10y agoLabeling something "misinformation" is not an objective act, period. Facebook will be engaging in censorship if they pursue this.
- gdubs 10y agoObjectivity is literally about things being factual regardless of subjective opinions. There's nuance in the world, but if someone says "The earth is flat", it's not dystopian for a newspaper or online newsfeed to editorialize and minimize those claims.
- mememachine 10y agoits impossible to label an article presenting a theory or perspective as non-factual. no one ever said it was fact. anyone trying to claim it is fact is a fool. Facts are things like: I have 20$ in my pocket Creationism isnt misinformation, even if it is lacking in evidence.
