Fake Twitter bots are also a form of censorship. Censorship does not work just by imposing silence, but also by overwhelming with noise. Free speech is valuable because it leads to a contest of ideas. If it degenerates into a contest of who has the resources to scream louder the battle for free speech has been lost already.
- throwaway1582 6y agothere seems to be a rather simple fix for this: a bloom filter for ideas. place this within the flow of information or at the intake of the government, take your pick. but it's obvious to me that democracy/universal suffrage gives incentive to actors (both foreign and domestic) to wage a mind-control war against the population. if people are legitimately willing to question something as foundational as free speech, they should really consider the other parts of the foundation too.
