Exactly how is it an exaggeration? I cannot fathom how anyone can not interpret that as a call for more censorship.

- lucideer 6y agoThere's 4 bullet points in that link. None of them are related to censorship. I can 100% understand how some people can conflate "deplatforming" with censorship (there is an argument to be made that they're the same thing), but this isn't calling for deplatforming. It specifically states: deplatforming has been done, but what we actually really need is these 4 extra (non-censorship-related) things. I'm curious to hear an explanation of how either of the following 4 things are censorship: 1. advertising transparency 2. selection algorithm transparency 3. algorithmic boosting of fact-checked sources 4. funding academic research into the impact of online platforms
- infamia 6y ago"Advertising transparency" would certainly have a chilling effect on speech. Also, the article clearly supports the censorship that has already occurred by saying that "Additional" action is needed which is quite a bit more than just "deplatforming has been done".
