What a slippery slope.
Would FB censor based on political dictation, religious belief, etc etc.
I like steemit's approach where you can simply mute the user. This gives me the ability to "censor" anyone I want. And ... if I feel like it, I can remove that censor.
Personally, I think the whole "trial" is the first attempt for the US government to try to get access to the data that FB holds. Otherwise, they would be going after Cambridge Analytica instead.
That's a pretty good point. Big data is one of the most powerful developments of our age and congress doesn't understand it well. There must be some serious worry.
