I don't understand how ppl can think transparency itself with guard against the spread of pseudoscience. Pseudoscience can spread much fast when it is open to everyone and we all know that it takes disproportionate time to show published BS to be wrong.https://twitter.com/kph3k/status/1099455201126334464 …

On the other hand, I would *in principle* first try to promote educating people to be able to judge fascism when they encounter it, rather than keeping it away from them. It would be a way of taking people seriously, approaching them as sensible, thinking adults. /2

So even if we decide to ban such nonsense from accessible media so as to avoid massive outbreak of fake-news - it should not stop there, we should still subsequently work to raise up society to the point where we can all read MK, be disgusted by it, and throw it away. /3.

I do not think proposal was a ban (though one may consider it). I think it's important to raise awareness about this issue. But the responses to the quoted tweet seem to downplay it, suggesting that it either will solve itself because of OS or that it is a cost that is worth it.

It’s like with any technological innovation, one has to do it responsibly. Ethical considerations should not be an afterthought, but part of the (iterative) design process.

WHEN you are exposed to something matters. So yes, train people to detect bigotry and fascism and on, but certainly not something possible without first being exposed to *ehem* good stuff first. Also labels...
