Can I choose who's content I pass along? I am ok distributing my own feed, that's presumably why I am joining the network. I am not OK passing along someone else's hate speech, porn, warez, malware, spam, etc. I'd like to be able to review the feeds available and say "Yeah sure I'll pass that around." If everything in a feed is encrypted then I'd need to decide. Also yeah my brother who's feed I follow and pass may upload a really nasty bit of content and I may relay it.

- edraferi 10y agoYour freedom to spread filth is precisely equal to my freedom not to repeat it. Also, please remember that the American First Amendment limits Government speech restrictions. Private communities and individuals can make any rules they want about social acceptable speech.
