I'm not really sure how I feel about this. There needs to be a point where there are repercussions for what you say. Similar to free speech. You have the right to say what you want, but you also have to deal with the repercussions of saying whatever you want. I shudder to think of a world where people are even more enabled to spread their messages of hate and ignorance.

Totally agree with you "@bozz", we confuse freedom of expression with libertinism. It is one thing to express our ideas, our concerns, our desires, and quite another to use the medium to abuse others, to instigate, to coerce… This freedom to say what you want must have a parallel legal responsibility that regulates the potential damage to third parties. These regulations are already being implemented by other social networks.

It's a hard one for me because I am very much a proponent of free speech. I guess I am honestly more disappointed in humanity than anything. Viewpoints which should have no place in a rational persons mind are endorsed and supported by so many people. We are traveling down an ugly path.

I am also an advocate of freedom of expression, but of a responsible freedom, we cannot go around shouting whatever we want without control, hence a moderating digital authority must be created, not a corrupt one. We dream of a better world, but we walk on dark and uncertain paths. Unfortunately, it is difficult to live in peace. Thank you for your kindness in responding to my intervention. Let us hope that the winds will change direction.

Yes, I hope so. The problem with authorities is they usually abuse that title. I think some kind of community driven moderation would be great. Very similar to what we have here. However, I think there is still room for improvement.

Hate to tell you but you already have that as long as the hate and ignorance is part of the approved agenda.

I liked the world better when people kept their opinions to themselves.

To what end? I was having this discussion yesterday about Ye being sued over some comments he made. It feels like dangerous territory we're entering. I don't know the answer. On one hand, I feel what you're saying, but on the other hand, something doesn't feel right about it.
I don't think suing is the answer. I am also not saying I agree with cancel culture, but in some cases, it has some merit. If done correctly which 90% of the time the world doesn't. I don't know the answer. I just know there is a whole lot more public ugliness in the world than there used to be.
The ugliness definitely seems to be amplified.
