| >> One that wants to manipulate your mind > Like your post here? Or my present reply to it? And so on... Except that Twitter thrives on controversy. There's controversy on HN as well, but escalations lead to flagging of content, not promotion of it. >> one that echochambers your discovery > Which is good, because nobody has enough time in the day to process every conceivable byte of information they might stumble across... Strawman. This statement isn't about quantity, it's about content. Focusing on information that reinforces one's one view, instead of engaging in critical thought, is a dumbing-down. >> one that censors arbitrarily > OK, because while everyone may have the right to speak freely, not all speech needs to be heard by everyone... Strawman. This isn't about what gets filtered, but who filters and how this information gets filtered. |
