They should have a 'truth' button to accompany the 'like' button, and so people can see who thinks something is 'true', and if they identify with that group. Then there is no censorship, and people also get some sort of crowdsourced 'truth' value that allows them to see the source of bias.

- knzhou 7y agoSorry, that just sounds naive. It’s all well and good until the echo chamber you live in meets a different echo chamber, which has a different idea of what’s true. The resulting conflict would instantly devolve into furious tribal warfare with people using the ‘like’ and ‘truth’ buttons as synonyms. Except with the worse feature that a popular post would seem to be additionally endorsed by Facebook as true.
- yters 7y agoGood point. 'like' and 'true' are not really different. Maybe allow people to 'like' political ads (or ads in general) will have the same effect.
