I know what The Shill’s definition of “harmful content and misinformation” is. And it would not, in any way, be harmful to the Left.

Meaning the more than half that can’t name all three branches of government. The amount of misinformation (false knowledge and ignorance of basic facts) that I’ve run into my life is astounding.

About par for the course is someone who doesn’t know that the days start getting shorter on the day after the summer solstice. I had a disagreement with a restaurant co-worker about that one once, and he was pretty angry and absolutely sure that no, they didn’t.

The general knowledge of adults about things that matter is very uneven and patchwork, yet just about everyone I meet “knows everything” and has expert knowledge on everything.

Maybe the mental health of the left wing moderators wasn’t so great when they started. Just saying.

Yeah, F** off.

Eliminate their immunity to lawsuits, I think it is a 230 exemption. Let them get sued for lying like everyone else — they will then favor free speech, a human right.

Oh, and as to letting the EU take lead on anything other than a lemming rush off a cliff — piss off.
Europe is the source of most of the wars in the world. Let them bugger off on their own.

“Misinformation” is whatever Tommy Boy says it is.

...it also can endanger the mental health of the moderators who must sift through objectionable content day in and day out.

It's kinda like police officers who cannot stand the job because of criminals committing crimes.

Or people policing the porn industry who cannot stand being around porn.

Moderators who have no idea what the job requires, should not be moderators. If they can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

In other words, his article is a marketing piece. He needs a good bitch-slapping.

former VP of Trust and Safety at Google.

Well, there's the problem. Using the word "safety" implies that the free exchange of ideas is somehow unsafe. It's the censorship of ideas and the concept of shutting down free speech that is truly dangerous.

That is the exact opposite of this article he wrote. Though I'm sure hypocrisy doesn't phase him.
