I don't know if conspiracies do that much harm to debate. They're quite the fringe topic. Misinformation, yes, but classifying misinformation (in its not-so-obvious forms) is a hard problem. So while I agree there needs to be a line, I also think that in enforcing a ban on misinformation we will necessarily end up limiting debate. The line should stay at something like inciting violence.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoHow much time do you have? There are endless amounts conspiracy theories, often times discussed by people who don't have any clue. Society NEEDS a way to cut through the chaff and noise, or eventually it'll collapse in on itself, and someone wins (typically the one with better information.) > The line should stay at something like inciting violence. The government line should definitely stay there. But private corporations should be free to push any agenda that they like.
