I could imagine a pretty simple social network where, if someone posted a beheading video, many people would report it as being objectionable. If enough of the people I connected as friends reported the video (or, perhaps, enough of the ones whom I marked as trustworthy) then I would never see it.
Instead the way the social network is designed is that some freak who is a friend of a friend posts a video of a person's head being chopped off and a guy in Kenya has to delete it, because everything about the internet is profoundly insane.

Or are you suggesting that an optimal social network should jam both gay marriage and beheading videos down my throat? I’m honestly curious what you’re getting at here. Would you mind making a much more substantive post?
