      idk, I think we need to do more to control who can and can't post on social media. I don't see how the 1st amendment would ever allow it but serial liars and scammers should be more limited in their ability to spread their garbage. People who have defamation or fraud judgements against them shouldn't be allowed to post on social media for 5-10 years following the judgement. Also we should place pretty severe limits on anonymity for posting on social media.

        I like something about anonymity despite all the downsides, and that’s the honesty. I think the most anonymous spaces on the internet are also full of the most honest actors (though they’re usually terrible people). When I say honest here I mean they’ll tell you exactly what they’re doing and what they want. I don’t know if pushing those people into quiet helps the issue.
