Why? What benefit does this provide to everyone? How is this not just going to silence minority opinion?
- yonixw 5y agoAnti-Vax are also a minority, and we should block them. I guess his intentions are to make the spread slow enough so the target of harassment could respond before being piled on OR for doctors to respond to Anti-Vax claims fast enough. So maybe a reach of 1K/Day would be a better approach to slow down harassment while allowing minorities to speak up (and the compromise is that it will take more time for their voice to be heard). WhatsApp did something similar where you cannot share a popular message to more than one, since it was used to spread a call to violence in India.
