If people think I can destroy citizens' voting power and their ability to think and make them endanger kids because of things people voluntarily share over Facebook, what do we say about how much we respect that vote and voter? And what are we saying about what we think Facebook's role should be in this, potentially as a guardian against our destructive and irresistible instincts?
People, both as individuals and communities, also need to have some responsibility over their own willpower, their own souls, their own minds, their own clarity, their own grasp, their own sense of reality. Or else how do we believe in the true heart of democracy -- the citizen and their worthy mind, a mind of ideas worthy of community negotiation and leadership?
Somewhere else people are condemning Google for not showing people the objective truth, and instead giving you what you want to search. Like it's Google's responsibility to regulate you against your own risk for delusion. If people think citizens are that weak then how do you trust the value of their intellect?
Are voters one Facebook network away from losing their trustworthiness as citizens in a democracy?
