Robert ReichMeta will allow political ads that claim the 2020 election was stolen.
YouTube will no longer remove videos making similar claims.
Monetizing lies has become a big business in America. It’s one of the core challenges to democracy.
WeaselA society that permits freedom of lies is guaranteed to poison itself.
Puma@weaselx86 @rbreich A society that allows a central authority to dictate truth and bans dissent from also doesn't do too well.
craftycat@puma0 @weaselx86 @rbreich Yes, this is why ISIS propaganda is allowed in USian schools, right? Because why would anyone be able to go "you know, maybe we don't need to platform terrorists" without "dictating truth"?
@craftycat @weaselx86 @rbreich Context matters. Show ISIS propaganda to kindergardeners? No. But maybe if you show it to high schoolers and teach them how bad ISIS is using their own teaching it would be a more effective tool than banning the speech.
@puma0 @weaselx86 @rbreich Yes, because USian education has proven excellent in deprogramming fascists in the past and present, I'm sure your plan will cause zero problems 👍
