What if bots and nations state actors can flood the platform with so much incorrect speech that correct speech cannot be heard?

- ben_w 4y agoIf we knew which speech was correct from its content alone, we wouldn't need freedom of speech. However, naravara started the comment with: > What if bots and nations state actors can flood the platform… Which is much easier to deal with.
