> It would not be hard for WhatsApp to prevent people from spreading bogus videos
The problem is there’s no agreed upon definition for what’s “bogus”. A while ago someone commented here with a list of statements ranging from obviously false obviously true to show how hard the problem is, I wish I could find it.

- eanzenberg 6y agoHere’s some examples. A few weeks ago on HN was the outrage that Apple kept the 30% app store revenue cut on a return. This was outright false but led to a 1000 comment thread circle-jerk hating on Apple. Early in the pandemic the WHO claimed coronavirus could not be transmitted to humans. Having a central arbiter of “truth” is dangerous, fascist and there’s a reason freedom of speech has barely any limits on a constitutional basis.
