> dangerous false information

I have zero faith in some faceless megacorp deciding for me what is and is not “dangerous misinformation”.

Your argument is essentially stating that people are cattle and require benevolent dictators filtering their media consumption for their own benefit.

They are already deciding way more for you than just what is "dangerous misinformation".


Nope, my argument is that too many people are having a hard time separating emotions and facts, and Facebook amplifies and makes this worse. They aren't a good arbiter of truth, but they are a terrible amplifier of falsehoods as well.
