MODERATORS
Every time some entity introduces censorship-like measures, the internet gets slightly worse. And I mean it from a technological perspective.
I don't like to lose good things, just because there are some morons out there.
If you can navigate masses towards X, you can also do it in the opposite direction.
So where do you draw the line then?
Can't ban websites selling drugs or with CSAM, just in case?
You shouldn't ban websites. You should get the criminals.
Well, that's completely ridiculous.
It's more ridiculous to believe that fighting crime is confiscating cars, block websites or similar things without catching the ones who cause the crimes.
I'm not the one here saying pedos should be left alone until we can find them ๐คท
I'm the one saying "find the criminals". That's the priority.
Please note, I am not saying that you shouldn't delete illegal material or confiscate drugs or whatever.
I am saying you shouldn't block pages, because the material is still there and the pedo, too. You have done essentially nothing, except harming the internet infrastructure.
