Right, I think Elon's idea is moving censorship into everyone's own responsibility, something like: Follow who you want to, ignore who you don't, it's not your responsibility nor your right to silence other people off a monopoly platform just because you disagree with them.
- nemo44x 4y agoExactly and he more or less spells this out in his letter. He compares his vision for Twitter to that of how how video games and movies work today. People choose what they want to hear and see and everything else is ignored. Pornography exists with Disney movies which exists with violent movies, etc, and we pick and choose what we want to see. I think it would be great if users could join communities that the members of moderate and regulate and can set rules such as only people that are members of a particular group or "friend groups" can engage with the group. This is more closely how the real world works. And yes there will be scumbags but they'll just not be able to engage with groups of people that aren't interested in them.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoSo Twitter will stop recommending things? No more trending topics? Because right now it actively tries to spread engagement through topical controversy.
- ilyt 4y agoNope, just option to opt out. "Don't recommend me stuff from category politics"
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoIs that not already an option?
- mikkergp 4y agoThis would be great, but it's also how they get "engagement" and "eyeballs" and all those fanschy schamnsy things advertisers love.
