Can we stop letting the actions of a few bad people be used to curtail our freedom on platforms we all use.
I don't want the internet to end up being policed by corporate AIs and poorly implemented bots (looking at you auto-mod).
The internet is already a husk of what it used to be, what it could be. It used to be personal, customisable... Dare I say it; messy and human...
.... maybe that was serving a need that now people feel alienated from. Now we live as corporate avatars who risk being banned every time we comment anywhere.
It's tiresome.
Facebook and others actively promote harmful content because they know it drives interactions, I believe it's possible to punish corps without making the internet overly policed.
