Is the content untruthful and promoting harmful conspiracy theories?
- dcolkitt 6y agoHow would you feel about Wordpress deleting all the blogs of a specific religion, based on the fact that there is no evidence for God? Because we're not talking about fringe conspiracy theories here. At least 30% of Americans holds opinions similar to CTH. You may disagree with them, but Wordpress is unilaterally claiming the ability to silence a huge chunk of the American political spectrum. I don't really see how that's any different than them deciding to unilaterally discriminate against, say all Catholics.
- dibujante 6y agoYes, I struggle with what the right response is when very large numbers of people believe things that are obviously both false and damaging. You're proposing complete relativism and the inability for anyone to know anything; if anti-semitism were a popular belief among 30% of the population, you'd defend it and being equal to any other belief?
