- earth_walker 4y agoI disagree. The majority is never informed enough to make a good decision on something as nuanced as censorship. At least a dictatorship could, theoretically, be benevolent and act on the advice of experts.
- hackerlight 4y agoA democracy can act on the advice of experts too via representative democracy with representatives (or appointees of representatives) that rely on experts.
- agileAlligator 4y agoideally no one should be allowed to censor anything (using state power)
