First Twitter, Facebook, then podcast aggregators, then web hosts, CDNs and soon, even domain registrars will be censored.
ISPs are probably next. If all the content hosts/providers are censored, then we better limit speech between individuals, and block it at the connection level.
Then we better start censoring individual conversations. Seeing (dis)information on iMessage will lend it an air of credibility, and that would be terrible!
I wonder if we can come up with a way to censor in person conversation. Maybe my phone can use voice recognition and alert me that my conversation partner (or I) am discussing something that has been debunked and fact checked. If I espouse too many debunked or unverified facts, maybe I should be fined? Or have my credit score lowered?
The possibilities are endless!
- sigmaprimus 6y agoSeems like the real problem is that somehow the powers that be, have been able to reshape the Internet which used to enable every person and or device connected to it, to communicate freely with any other person or device also connected to it at will, the powerful have now segmented it into so called platforms which take away these freedoms and infact coherence those connected to them into perceiving reality through their own construct. Simmilar to how media was controlled by the powerful few, pre-internet. Why is anyone shocked that this has occured and will continue to, is it not the natural evolution of all past forms of mass communication? Propeganda FTW, always!
