Libel and slander laws are only applicable in cases where specific persons can show that it caused them tangible and personal damage. My suggestion is to eliminate the above additional requirement. If you're in favor of existing slande

Many countries have successfully enforced laws against libel and slander without infringing on people's ability to espouse genuinely held beliefs, and challenge popular persons/organizations. I fail to see why this is any differen

> who is the authority responsible for determining their truthiness The same authorities who are currently responsible for enforcing laws against libel and slander. Are you also in favor of repealing all such laws?

Many countries already have laws against libel and slander. This isn't something new.

I don't support this specific law, since "gossip" is a nebulous term. That said, the idea is pretty intriguing. I suspect that society would be far better off if the deliberate authoring and spread of misinformation, were mad

My interpretation is that among the pool of people who meet the minimum requirements and are interested in that position/career , IQ is the best predictor. If you're just picking random high-IQ people off the street, I don't

Organizations function best when they help their employees be maximally productive. It takes a special kind of person to discover and derive Newton's laws of motion... and that too can take years. There are vastly more people who can u

Well said. Job creation is not the hard part. Eliminating jobs is. Every time a job becomes automated, the workers eventually find other industries/professions to work in, boost aggregate productivity in those other sectors, and thus e

Maybe I was too flippant. I apologize if it seemed mean spirited. My broader point is that not everything needs to be critiqued, especially when it's just someone sharing their life experiences. Specifically: "I had a great setup

Not everything has to have a point or engage in privilege-self-flagellation. The author has an interesting life story and he is sharing it. You as the reader are welcome to do with it whatever you want to. Some people like myself are curiou

How many Muslims in Sweden are going to be watching a comedy that lampoons their religion? How exactly is lampooning Islam going to help Christians, ex-Christians or ex-Hindus?

Sure, people should be able to poke fun at Mohammed, freedom of speech etc etc. But why would you? Life of Brian was a movie about Christianity, made by those born into Christianity, meant to be watched by fellow Christians. Hence why it pr

Your post reads like one of those classic "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" slogans. Sure, but guns make it a whole lot easier. No one is innocent here - there's plenty of blame to go around. One of the key

Thanks for the link. I'm glad to see others working on this. I don't really like their cash/Bitcoin only strategy. Similarly for haggling for your fare. I think these two factors might be deal breakers for most users and driv

Nice to hear, I can certainly send you more details over email. I don't see an email address listed on your profile though - you can find my email address in my public profile.

The concept of "marketplace of ideas" goes far beyond Gab and Voat. Two bad apples and cherry picked examples do not make for a counter argument.

Clearly YouTube has been extremely valuable even before they felt the public pressure to penalize "low quality content". Your comment about an "open marketplace of ideas having no value in itself" is very curious. The ve

The "bad actors" that you're referring to on YouTube aren't harassing anyone or inciting violence or breaking the YouTube community guidelines in any way. They are simply espousing opinions that you dislike and disagree

None of the problems you've raised are related to YouTube's proposed changes in the linked articles. They already have rules against most of the things you mentioned. The proposed changes go far beyond them. https://www

Honestly, it's pretty ridiculous that YouTube is being pressured to police the content on its platform. What worries me far more than extremist videos on YouTube, is the idea of a mega-corporation exerting outsized influence over the o

Quantifying the current voter sentiment makes you a entertainer? If anyone should be accused of "entertainment", I'd imagine it's the guy known for writing mass-market books.
