If that is the case than maybe we should be state run and not be able to make our own decisions

    Misinformation has been around for years. Sometimes it's corporations, Tobacco industry, sometimes it's the government the Vietnam war and sometimes it's just plain old charlatans Kevin Trudeau author of "natural cures they don't want you to know about", remember that one? Point being give me the information and I will use the information for right or wrong how I see fit.
    How do you know what the real information is? That's the problem.

There was a time when the mainstream thought climate change wasn't real. Imagine if we were just allowed to remove that dis information and not explore it?

    I see your point now and more-or-less agree. The solution to misinformation isn't to try to silence it or sweep it under the rug. Expose it, correct it, prove it wrong for everyone to see.

    I love how everyone is riled up over Musk buying twitter with HIS money (not just here), and no one gives a **** when Trudeau pissed hundreds of millions of OUR money away.

    Leave it to Stifler to twist a thread about Elon Musk and Twitter into his own obsessed hatred for the Canadian Prime Minister.

    same goes for Biden really.

    Point is, this guy is spending his own money while trillions of ours get pissed away on the daily.

    In theory, this approach would be best. But practical experience shows that the impact of a mass spreading of harmful misinformation is greater than any after-the-fact correction. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube and all that. In addition, most people who have a mindset which is to trust authority above their own senses tend to believe the big lie instantly and work very hard to disbelieve even ironclad proof once the lie has been accepted. The approach of letting misinformation which has the intent to harm just exist and hoping everyone will quickly realize and disregard it is not workable in the modern age. The harm outweighs the noble ideal's benefit.

    The problem is who gets to decide what "misinformation" is? There was a time when the concept of a spherical earth was widely considered to be misinformation, as one example of where that approach would lead us astray.

    From hundreds of millions to trillions in 51 minutes. Damn Trudeau is spending money fast lmao.

    Of note, apparently “helping people” and “unemployment support” is pissing money away, for a brief glimpse into these people’s psyche towards other people and helping the less fortunate.

    The unfortunate part of the entire situation is, the egomaniacs who threatened to leave the US once Trump won are the same unreliable losers who won't leave Twitter after threating to if the Musk takeover came to fruition. Then again, the endless amount of melodramatic content they've provided over the last 48 hours is glorious.

    Again, who?! Who specifically are you talking about?

    You make these broad generalizations about people you're mad at, but who are they?? Do you even know?

    And where is all this melodramatic content? My twitter feed looks exactly the same today with the same type of content as every day.

    I never said I was mad at them, so I'm not sure where you're getting that idea. Open Twitter. Turn on almost any media outlet. Check your Facebook.

    Celebrities, politicians, athletes, "influencers", "TV personalities", Biden administration, the list goes on.
