I completely support freedom of speech. But what if there are people or companies who are making money from spreading complete lies which are very harmful to the society? I am happy for them to say what they want to small groups of people, but should they be allowed access to public platforms with millions of people?
- nailer 5y agoIt sounds like you don’t completely support freedom on speech.
- FinanceAnon 5y agoI think it depends on your definition of freedom of speech. I don't support providing a platform for harmful lies to spread e.g. QAnon In my opinion, internet and social media changed the game. Freedom of speech now is not the same as freedom of speech 200 years ago. The spread of information now is massive and instanteneous, and people are up against ML models which are being trained to grab their attention. For example, Cambridge Analytica - were their actions an exercise of freedom of speech or exploitation of social media?
- ticviking 5y agoThey were both.
