What an excellent presedent to set cant possibly see how this is going to become authoritarian. Ohh u didnt report someone ur also guilty cant see any problems with this.
That's... not what this is about, though?
This isn't about mandated reporting, it's about funneling impressionable people towards extremist content.
That means that the government is injecting itself on deciding what "extremist" is. I do not trust them to do that wisely. And even if I did trust them, it is immoral for the state to start categorizing and policing ideologies.
umm.. isnt the government or rather the judikative already deciding what extremist is?
How would specifically this be different?
I can understand the problems thos causes for the platforms, but the government injecting decisions is something you focus on?
Not to forget the many other places they inject themselves.. one could say your daily lifes because.. careful now.. you live in the country with a government, whaaat?
