Is it not more advantageous to collect the metadata regarding disagreeable content and shadowban it to decrease engagement?
How would citizenship be established to the platform? Would it not allow pseudonymous content? Do parents get to control the platform use of minor children?
- philipkglass 5y agoIs it not more advantageous to collect the metadata regarding disagreeable content and shadowban it to decrease engagement? Shadow-banning legal but disagreeable content seems counter to the mission of a "publish anything that is legal under American law" platform. I rather like the idea of having a public hosting platform that would allow Americans to publish anything that is legal under American law, but there are many questions about how that would work in practice (including those questions in your final paragraph). I also am not sure how much public support there would be for such a platform once people realize how much near-universally-loathed material is not actually illegal to publish under American law.
