I, for one, am happy about this decision.
If there's one thing that's became way more obvious to me over the past year and a half is just how susceptible a lot of people are to conspiracy theories and other similar content.
In an ideal world we would have different solutions, however we don't live in a perfect world so I welcome decisions like this. Yes it does open doors for more government control and censorship, but I'd take that if it means reducing conspiracy theories, racism, etc.
- kderbyma 5y agoso when the government starts to promote racism as policy you will obviously be in favour of it.
- a254613e 5y agoNo I will not. Life isn't a computer program that you can define with EXTREMELY specific if statements, like HN likes to believe. So I'm happy with statements such as "Content that is demonstrably false" from google. And I can be in favour of supporting more regulation, but also against regulation that's demonstrably harmful even if I can't write you an extremely specific definition of what harmful of "demonstrably false" is that would cover every single imaginable edge case.
