Although I agree with the solution of creating safeguards for the machine, I'm sure the accident rate would've also went down over time as people learned how to avoid them (though not as drastically). There's a huge difference between making a machine safer and filtering news, however. The only downside to safeguarding the machine is the economic cost. With filtering news, it could end up rather dystopian and filter to fit a more complex agenda. We're very cautious in America of any power we designate to a company or especially the government, as every power we assign is only beneficial situationally. When the situation changes, that power will likely stay with that entity, however. Our avoidance of giving away power could be classified as a bend-but-don't-break strategy, in regards to everything from news censorship to constitutional limitations (i.e. gun control).
