Misinformation dilemma.
#4
RE: Misinformation dilemma.
I don't see a dilemma we don't allow people to lie in other aspects of life would should we allow it here? Misinformation is particularly awful because it forces legitimate organizations to waste their time correcting it and the police don't need to be educated as Anti Vaxxers are by default wrong so their protests are by default spreading misinformation. As for the idea of Caveat emptor, we would never accept that elsewhere so why here? As for religion we simply have to be pragmatic on that one as we're never going to police that unfortunate type of misinformation. But that doesn't mean we allow the floodgates to open and allow the cranks to overrun society. Otherwise, the truth is simply reduced to an opinion and that's unsustainable for any society. Also, everyone is entitled to an opinion but make that opinion public and you have opened it to scrutiny.
