The two important questions of our age are still:
1. Who gets to decide what is "true" and what is "misinformation"?
2. Who gets to decide what can and cannot be published on the internet?
- tgv 4y ago1. Holocaust denial is a pretty clear and shut case. 2. The law, and the most vocal/influential parts of society. I know that might not answer the allusions behind your question, but then you have to be more specific.
- marcus_holmes 4y ago1. and yet there are entire communities that believe the Holocaust never happened, and we have no definitive method of telling them they're wrong that they'll believe. It again comes back to "Who gets to decide what is true?" 2. which is it? It can't be both the law and whoever shouts loudest (if it's the law then the mob is irrelevant. If it's the mob then that's "mob rule" and not the law).
