I'm against censorship. But I'm also against algorithmic promotion of dubious information.
As an example, several people I know personally told me they saw videos of black lives matter activists and antifa starting fires here in Oregon. It's ridiculous. But, there is enough evidence to show that those videos were created and promoted in the right way such that YouTube and Facebook put them into their viral loops and lots of succeptible people thought they were the truth.
How do we strike a balance between letting information be free and at the same time prevent black box algorithms and evil actors from hacking our society?
