Truth is also a casualty when all truth is drowned out by a deluge of lies and nonsense. It's not as simple as you wish. You want to live in a trustless society where there needs be no curation of truth, but it's simply not practical, and it never has been.


And once again you completely ignore the problem of who gets to decide what it means to be biased or truthful? I'm sure you think you're biases are implicitly good, but there's no way in hell I would ever let you control the information that would be filtered on my screen given your ideological views


I'm not ignoring it, I'm just not going to pretend the actual solution is "no one decides" because that's nonsense. Hard problems don't go away because you don't like them. Not censoring misinformation isn't going to work, period. Some trust is required for society to operate at its current scale.
