You find that the Disinformation Governance Board is chilling . To me that seems like a typical Republican bumper sticker . Why do you find it “ chilling”? Is there not a serious problem with social media that demands a solution?

I assume that you have a better and preferred solution. What is it? If you are “chilled “ give us you better solution.

Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. I think there are absolutely problems with social media that demand solutions. I'm not sure I have good answers on that front, and I also don't think that disliking one proposed solution requires having a solution of your own. As to the chilling element, I'm concerned about how it could be used across administrations. However, as more information comes about it, I'm not foreclosed to the possibility it does good things.

While as I said above, I'm not sure I have great answers, I would like to see more transparency with algorithms. I think they need to be regulated and can't operate as monopolies. Unfortunate that came off to you as a bumper sticker, but I do appreciate your reading and the question.
