It is laudable that people can freely speak their opinions nowadays, at least in some countries. And they should by all means have the right to do so, no matter how bonkers their ideas are. It gets problematic, however, when the uttered points of view contain unequivocally erroneous statements, misleading assertions and by doing so pose a threat to the health and wealth of those who wish to follow these particular points of view.
Once a brainwashed generation gets to brainwash another generation without suspecting any brainwashing itself, the way back is really hard... To realize that one has been brainwashed takes a lot of questioning, profound knowledge and courage.
That's a great achievement of the internet: to be able to consider many different opinions and identify potential brainwashed spots of our minds.

Indeed the Internet is the greatest an the worst invention. To me the most important this is for Humanity to wake up and realise how to live sustainably, then we can look at the ideas. Some I think are true other not so but the important thing is we eliminate the factors that are destroying our freedoms before we even look at these. As long as people are not free then this problems will always exist.
