None. Twitter and Facebook and Reddit should not be promoting a viewpoint or source.
It is unfortunate that some people will use freedom of speech to share misinformation, but the alternative -- convincing the public that any form of skepticism is bad, and only the "consensus" is correct -- is unthinkable. Virtually every scientific theory of any impact has been opposed by the "consensus" at one point or another.
- freedomben 6y agoI saw a pretty powerful "joke" tweet the other day where "Galileo" tweets about thinking maybe the sun is the center of the solar system instead of the earth, and it gets slapped with a "learn more about how experts agree on the geocentric model." Pretty funny, but also eerily relevant. https://twitter.com/marcorandazza/status/1327263962799480832?s=21 https://twitter.com/marcorandazza/status/1327263962799480832...
