And while we're at it, give people believing and spreading the lies a mandatory course in critical thinking before they can access their internet again. We need the browsers to step in here and flag every news article that is not properly sourced as a first step. |
Who determines it though? It can't be a popular/majority vote.
Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. The problem is that the internet gives people the idea that anyone can have as important an opnion as anyone else, and that is simply not true.
Before the internet, when discussing a subject, you would have specialists of the area giving their opinion. Average Joe didn't get a say and that is the way it needs to be. Facts and truth. This can be achieved with better regulation, not with gag orders. That's dictatorial.
If this happened in the US impartially, it would be the end of FOX news.
