Sorry dude that wrote this article, but it is a bunch of words saying nothing. No conclusion, just a bunch of bad comparisons and analogies. This sentence distils the article entirely: > an app can’t run in the background, watch what you do, and steal your bank details, because the move to a sandboxed model means applications can’t run in the background and watch what you do. It can't because it can't. Got it. To talk about the topic in the title though, content moderation is a dead end, not because of the need to do it, but because people will not tolerate it. Nobody has a monopoly on information sharing on the internet, no amount of justification will get people to sit and allow it. All moderation is good for is keeping your community on focus, trying to prevent any ideas, even bad ideas, from bring shared is a bad idea in itself. It is a dead end not because it is an unsolveable problem, there's a deeper root here. It is a dead end because the people you're trying to moderate don't see a problem that needs a solution in the first place, and they're going to avoid your attempt at controlling their voices and the flow of information. And they should.
