Considering how much of our existence is online these days, it seems like denying people the means to participate is almost like denying their right to exist.

I’d like to see a world where everyone has the capability to shape this digital space in a fair and accessible manner.

    No. I support the publication and scholarly refereeing process, over politicians being given control over what is “proven” and what is “misinformation”. The problem is not that misinformation is allowed, but rather that governments are captured by oligarchs and imbeciles that push that misinformation.

      As I just eluded to, no one suggested politicians censor information.

      Last I checked “shut up” wasn’t an argument for passing censorship laws

        I may have misunderstood, in which case I apologize. But when I read people should have access to “scientifically proven” information, I took that to mean somebody would be the arbiter of that. I otherwise completely agree.
