If it's such a hard tradeoff then maybe don't make the trade in the first place. Just don't censor speech. Problem solved.
Insisting on censoring speech in this case is what's known as a Hegelian dialectic: there is a problem, we need to solve the problem, here's how we solve the problem.

- ryanSrich 4y ago> If you are running a social media platform for the masses, you have to censor certain things, and you have to abide by all regulations. You can’t just X. Legally speaking yes. You absolutely have to censor a decent amount of content. Outside of what is legally required (at least in the US), I’d be in favor of allowing the community to block and mute to curate their own experience. It seems a losing battle to rely on the whims of the people that run the business of Twitter/Facebook/etc. to be the deciders of what should and should not be allowed. > We have already seen that musk’s pathetic approach via free speech absolutism does not work. Is this tongue and cheek? Musk’s policies are the antithesis of free speech.

Life doesn't require anyone to confront bad stuff that only grows worse if it is tolerated. Life does, however, require everyone to live with the consequences of our choices.
