I don't understand the cynical takes in the comments.
Something like this seems like the least worst option. We wouldn't want the government telling private companies how to moderate their websites, but we also wouldn't want Mark Zuckerberg making those decisions.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> We wouldn't want the government telling private companies how to moderate their websites “We”, who? Manifestly, plenty of people in this thread have explicitly argued that this should be either done by the government or go beyond the national government to the UN. So, while you might not want the government to do this, and I might not want the government to do this, plenty of people do want state or superstate direction rather than private freedom of speech/press here.
- apple4ever 6y agoFor me it just seems like another way to cover whatever they want to do. Just like any of the FAANG companies when you "appeal" a decision and it just goes to the same people who make the same decision.
