It used to be against their policy, now these people openly spam you in the replies.

    Spreading lies and misinformation should not be a business model. If businesses can’t make policy to correct this, then the government should, and that opens up a lot of issues.

      That’s not their business model. Their business model is hosting content.

      Let’s do a thought experiment. Robert Reich is a popular left-leaning person in all forms of media. He’s also a liar, who plays down his own involvement in protecting his housing investment while constantly arguing for housing policy changes. He’s a NIMBY who wrote letters arguing against low income housing in his area, but consistently argues for low income housing.

      Should all of his content be removed? If not, why?

      Day one: Dear citizens, your elected government is stepping in to combat the extensive spread of misinformation and lies in consumer media. We have heard your desire for a safer cleaner internet based on scientific fact.

      Day ???: Citizen of the state, receive your government sponsored daily truth. Any dissenting opinions will be met with immediate sanctions and corrective discipline. Remember, government is truth, government cannot lie. You will see reason or else.
