As much as I agree with you part of me is experiencing cognitive dissonance because I don’t know how to square this view with the appeal of democratization of a powerful tool.

There are intelligent voices out there exposing otherwise unseen parts of the world that range from fascinating to alarming. Some of those people are far from technical and we only hear from them because they do know how to hold down the record button on their phones, and they found platforms with built-in audiences who were responsive to their messages.

Let’s say it were possible to review all content prior to it being published. You might be able to nip a lot of the e.g. anti-vax or anti-science or garbage anti-intellectualism in the bud. (Garbage that should be legal to express [in USA] but that is harmful when spread so there is no need to help enable its distribution.) I expect however some legitimate, underrepresented views would be silenced as well.

I could probably ramble on – I don’t think I have a specific point, just meandering thoughts.
