Yes, this part wasn't thought out well enough. Let there be an organization that verifies site owners (to verify that they are not abroad and can be put in jail if needed), content and moderation policies and issues a cryptographic signature. The website displays the signature in HTTP headers.
- npteljes 3y agoI'm sorry, but this is still similarly handwave-y. Content moderation is contentious enough as it is, and on top of that, there is already persistent outright illegal content on the internet. There is illegal content on the clear web, and also a lot of illegal activity on instant messaging platforms, even on highly non-anonymous ones like Facebook. This issue is not technical, and so, we should stop trying to fix it with technical solutions. The proposal is only relevant because it's an effective smokescreen. There is real abuse happening, people are understandably, but overly anxious about that abuse, and a corporation sees an opportunity for power in this situation. That's all there is to it.
