The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.

The problem is that people want to censor what they don't want to see for others.

"If I don't like it, then neither should you."
