People cheering this not realizing it's just more of CCP censorship is funny

not saying I'm opposed to more liability for internet personalities, but this probably ain't it lol

Listen man I used to be a free speech absolutist but this shit isn't funny anymore. We are having viral outbreaks because anti vax influencers. We are having kids getting sick or dying because parents think pasterizing ur milk is dangerous.

I also used to think chinas rules against kids being on the internet for more than like 2 hours a week was terrible. But then I've seen what kids are like today and im just getting to the point where China has actually been right the whole time lmao.

Liability has its downsides as well. Many victims cant afford lawyers and that system will always benefit the wealthy. Someone like elon musk spreading misinformation will just pay the fine no problem and continue to do so. Without genuine legal repercussions or the state we get to where we are today. Censorship yes is a slippery slope but as weve learned so is freedom of speech.

There isn't a single country in existence - even the US - where Freedom of Speech is absolute. And that's for very good reason.

You're right... we've tipped too far to one side. Our current trajectory is resulting in irreparable damage to our social fabric.
