MODERATORS
Censorship is simply intentionally limiting the information that someone else has available to them, and it is bad. Let them curate their own information, that's fine, but they should have choice over what they see.
I disagree. The whole "buyer beware" does not work. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not to their own facts. Plenty of people out there are not able to curate their own content and rely on others to do it for them. Librarians, curators, there are jobs specifically for that purpose.
I think it is time.. no overdue, that proper curation takes over again. But the task is so enormous that it will be a challenge to figure out how this is done properly. And.. commercial entities will always have incentives that are not aligned with that of the broader populace.. so there is that.
