You say this like it's a bad thing. A centralized list that's communally owned is a lot more like democracy than a private list that's got "AI/magic" sorting that's intended to raise profits at the expense of society.
In fact, government could get involved in legislating not the list, but common sense baselines on how such lists should be administered - setting the groundrules so to speak (mainly to prevent fraud/abuse).
- jay_kyburz 7y agoYou end up with the same debate. Should fake news be on the blacklist, or just porn, or just things that are actually illegal? I want all three and an ad blocker as well.
- r00fus 7y agoYou misunderstand me. Multiple blacklists providers allow people to have visibility and force common sense consensus amongst lists. Eg: adblocking rulesets. Any government involvement should simple state that blacklist options stay open to consumers (allow interoperability) and force transparency.
