These platforms exist and aren't hard to find. They also tend to be cesspools.
Part of the value proposition of their competitors is that they do moderate their content, to some extent.
I don't see why we should force all platforms to operate essentially without moderation.
- alexashka 6y agoThis false dichotomy of authoritarian governance or 'cesspool' keeps coming up. There exist other options. Just let the people filter and set their own rules for engagement. Of course that would eliminate these creepy company's ability to insert ads and other trash into your life, so no one does it. Facebook had a perfectly fine and working news feed, but then they wanted to insert ads, so they made an 'algorithmic' feed that decides you want to see ads instead. Convenient. These platforms pretending they can't solve the issues of idiot speech and outright law violations without acting like Stalin is laughable.
