Sunstein also has argued in his prolific literary works that the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information of their own choosing.
Kind of like turning the page of a newspaper to read something you might actually be interested in reading or turning the channel of the radio or TV to find something more entertaining or informative. That is the choice a sentient and free person makes.
"A system of limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government," he wrote. "Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not be rejected in freedom's name."
What are you Jackie Chan? What are we children and you know what is best for us? Not in the interest of citizenship and self government? Aren't you proposing something in direct conflict with that statement? Self government is the hallmark of this Constitutional Republic. You can forget democratic efforts.
Later, Sunstein rethought his proposal, explaining that it would be "too difficult to regulate [the Internet] in a way that would respond to those concerns." He also acknowledged that it was "almost certainly unconstitutional."
Oh! Then we have found something reasonable in your logic?
"The modern world suffers from insufficient civility," they wrote. "Every hour of every day, people send angry e-mails they soon regret, cursing people they barely know (or even worse, their friends and loved ones). A few of us have learned a simple rule: don't send an angry e-mail in the heat of the moment. File it, and wait a day before you send it. (In fact, the next day you may have calmed down so much that you forget even to look at it. So much the better.) But many people either haven't learned the rule or don’t always follow it. Technology could easily help. In fact, we have no doubt that technologically savvy types could design a helpful program by next month."
That is the beauty of being human. Learning from mistakes and express indignation. I am don't want to be protected from making mistakes. What next you gonna put an Inspector Gadget safety unit on my when I snowboard? I don't want it. Although I do wear a helmet, that is my choice.
That's where the "Civility Check" comes in.
I don't want a civility check or any other check from the government. Why don't you check your self into a hospital for the psychological care you need to assuage your emotional problems and help to suppress your covert hostility.
Pussy.
Now, now now that wasn’t very civil LOL. You don’t want to hurt the Internet’s feelings do you?
