Comment on Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free

Computer bots always act a certain predictable way. You can filter out most bots easily based on time-based filters or other algorithms. The rest should not be moderated, except for illegal things like selling weapons, drugs, or hiring a hitman.

That hasn’t been true for a long time. Filtering bots has increasingly become more difficult, expensive, and sophisticated. Not to mention that there are still plenty of state sponsored bad actors using real people and hybrid approaches.

  What’s your solution to that? Not filtering out bots? Or manually moderating? The latter is even more expensive.

    Your proposal is equivalent to just letting bots completely control the internet. It kills it. We either want an internet or we don’t.

  That’s fine by me. I’m capable of ignoring that. Call me anything you want. Insult my family, my life, my person, my culture; I literally don’t care. I’m either going to ignore you or respond accordingly. Let the extremist come in. Everyone that can’t handle it is a weak wimp that isn’t worthy of the free internet.

    If they stay on the net fine, but no amount of tick skin n is bullet proof. Its not if but when those extremists move off line.
