"Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation."
One has to read closely to pick up on the doublespeak. They are calling for the use of algorithms to hide ideas they disagree with and artificially promote ideas they agree with. It is soft censorship but far more sinister.
- echelon 6y agoDamn, that's insidious. The people downvoting me would be terrified if it were Trump that had this power. My belief is that nobody should have this power. edit: You merry downvoters that believe we shouldn't have freedom of speech should move somewhere freedom of speech isn't permitted. That way you won't have to be offended anymore. Although I think it would be fitting if you don't have a say as to which speech is permitted.

- noicebrewery 6y agoA fact is not an idea, it's a thing that actually happened and can be measured. Your doublespeak, on the other hand, trying to equate facts with opinions, is what is concerning. This is the kind of nonsense that allows anti-vaxxers to be given equal voice to people who have studied biology for decades, or any of the qanon garbage that has resulted in people being killed.
