If people are acting based on what they read, is banning the words the real solution? It seems that learning the reasons why people are dissatisfied is the more useful approach.
Suppressing people's words or beliefs under the guise of Democracy has never been a good strategy throughout history.
- Dem_Boys 6y agoI never suggested banning words and agree that opinions should not be surpressed. The issue occurring is that bad actors are using social media as a tool to enrage people and shape their opinions. I do not have a solution but I feel as though identitying this as a real problem is part of the solution. Most people are not aware that social media is filled with computational propaganda
