Rather than censoring people, we could take the approach that our worldview is robust enough to withstand competition / challenge. More discussion should in theory wither the fragile ones:

The real issue is echo chambers, and getting people to voluntarily cross- pollinate their bubbles.
Censoring actually makes this issue worse though.
- unknownkadath 6y agoYou are assuming that the market place of ideas selects for correctness rather than virality.
- ryukafalz 6y agoWe might get a bit closer if our communication tools encouraged correctness rather than virality.

The action of that central power will be called censorship. You could also try to have some guarantee of interoperability to reduce network effects and thus make the market effect weaker and reduce the selection for virality. That seems like something we could try.
