- bruce511 2y agoI would suggest that it's hard to do that as an afterthought. If the internet has shown us anything it's that public curating of material seldom allows quality to float to the top. And when filtering, or curating, is exercised then the argument swings between "untrue" on one side and "censored" on the other. Simply saying "it should all be open" without acknowledging, or worse without understanding, the real harm that approach could bring is to bring an overly simplistic solution to a hard problem.
