Banning misinformation isn't gonna stop the idiots that would believe it, it's gonna give them reason to go further down the rabbit hole.
It's the Streisand effect.
- Fellshard 5y agoIt's worse than that. Mind that the day prior, she had stated they are 'helping' Facebook by flagging posts with 'disinformation'. This list she wants them to share is a list of /people/ to ban, not merely /disinformation fragments/ to ban. Think less 'targeted removal of dangerous disinfo' and more 'China's censorship toolkit.' It would certainly make their job easier if they only had to really work with one company to find the disinfo, and then propagate the bans everywhere. But all of these are things our government is explicitly forbidden from doing, and I hope we see a legal case brought forth ASAP.
