> The question we need to be asking is whether we should banish certain ideas to an echo chamber that the rest of us have no incentive to enter, or whether we should allow free expression of all ideas — no matter how repulsive — so rational minds may finally have an opportunity to prevail.

I don't think the person that believes Bill Gates is trying to insert microchips into people is going to listen to rational thought from you or anyone else.

Most normal people don't want to even see this kind of crap in their social feeds. There is just too much other interesting stuff to read on a daily basis. If Twitter doesn't remove this crap and decides to show it to me (because having an audience is a constitutionally protected right or something) I'm leaving Twitter and going somewhere else.

Censorship is a competitive advantage.

Agreed. I don't have time nor do I want to watch incendiary videos that unnecessary raise my blood pressure and stress me out.

I know what it like to be under such information cycle. You just spiral out of control as you become unmoored from reality. Depression and anxiety sets in, and it get worse and worse until the cycle get disrupted or something really bad happen. In my case, I was able to disrupt the cycle.

Imagine someone more susceptible to conspiracy theories get sucked into such a cycle when youtube video recommend an endless stream.

Thank you for this insight. I am re-writing the article and taking a step back in my writing to assume a more neutral tone.
