Oh I think sites would be greatly impacted. To the point where most/all user submitted content would need to be moderated. It would completely upend social media and make most comment-based forums impractical to operate at large scale. I think that would be a good thing. We'd be going back to something like the days of newspapers, where letters to the editor were all read and approved by the publisher before they were printed.

You want to go back to an era where only a select few large, powerful outlets could decide what gets published? You see what’s happening with news media and governments threatening news outlets and you want to consolidate to that?

The rest of us would have to beg for their permission to let our words be heard?

I don’t think you’ve thought this fantasy through.

I didn't say anything about a few large, powerful outlets. I said outlets should at least share responsiblity for what they publish.

Only the large powerful outlets will have the budgets and legal connections to host user submitted content.
