Here is a question I have been thinking about lately.

Should the government regulate social media platforms to prevent misinformation, or does that infringe on free speech?

Elon musk's saga in Brazil sparked this thought.

Infrings on free speech.

So what would be the best way to control misinformation?

There is not. People have to learn to inform themselves. Governments act like they are parents and we common folk are all children.
Time for people to educate themselves on stuff.

Thats a pretty thoughtful response. Thanks Bradley.

You're welcome. And that's a solid believe I just adopted

100% agree with this. Government should not try to limit information, instead offer education for people and encourage discussions.

Decentralize positively when it does not hurt the system because of corner cases is the dream... #hive is very very close to that venture! If not over that already in some places!

what do you mean by corner cases?

government should have no control of social media platforms

Fair enough. I guess the only solution will be for everyone to cross check what they are consuming.

We can't trust them how they will regulate it. They will cause more harm the moment they step in. It is like giving them the power and authority in your space. Rather, I think they should investigate bloggers who disseminate false information and deal with them.

You made another solid point. That's two in a day, I'm giving you a follow.

Thanks so much. I'm glad I saw your thread and had a conversation with you.

There could be more as long as I see your threads and have a contribution to make, lol.
