This is explicitly a call to reject creating and using technology as a filter to prevent the spread of bad information.
I thought that the liberal ideology had finally figured out the necessity of filters after the last election. Fact checking sites, auto-hiding of conspiracy theory videos, etc are all precisely the opposite of what the author calls for.
- Nasrudith 7y agoThe thing is all of them can and have backfires. Fact-checkers often encounter the backfire effect from those who don't want to know the truth but validation. Filters have the Streissand Effect where the cover up validates that there is something to it because they fear it. The last election has frankly lead to short sighted hysteria being exploited ruthlessly by vested interests Big Lying their nonsense.
