It is a slippery slope and I honestly haven’t formed my opinions fully on this. I tend to believe that if there are state run actions like botting or state funded journalism, that private companies that want to uphold ‘free speech’ ideals can work to down-rank or counteract those actions.
If private citizens or journalists are repeating ‘disinformation’ I would think it should remain untouched.
- rich_sasha 5y agoHow do you distinguish “private citizens” spreading propaganda because they believe it, “useful idiots” parroting it without any thought and outright state troll farms?
- jjcon 5y agoNot at all my area of expertise but I imagine troll farms can have some obvious behaviors (mass copypasta patterns across a shared pool of ips etc) that can be effectively prevented. Less obvious behaviors are also potentially less massive and less effective.
