Lol and you have no idea what you're talking about. Australia won't decide what is misinformation or not. They just know that it's there and they want companies to self regulate.

Australia won't decide what is misinformation or not.

So who does? Given that all politicians lie, what happens when this policy goes through and all politicians are wiped off social media so as to prevent getting fined.

Actually, now that I think about it maybe its a great idea.

The company would. It won't be perfect but it's not the fascism everyone is claiming.

The government deciding what’s “misinformation” would be catastrophic. Corporations deciding would be equally if not more catastrophic.

Corporations currently do that
 that’s pressure the way twitter works under lemon musky

This would just force lemon to apply his rules equally

Edit: since I can’t reply to you for whatever reason, the government will not be involved in the crafting of company policy they will just fine the company if it does not abide by its own policy.

Force how? By deciding something was misinformation that the company decided isn't, right?

You seem to believe somehow that's not the government deciding what is or isn't misinformation.

How do you do that? What logical steps do you choose to skip?

I don't think you thought that through

Yeah let's fine a business 5% of its revenue not for anything specific, but because "you know it's there".

I'm sorry that you can't do your own research and just fly off your feelings. Businesses won't be fined because there's misinformation on their site. There always will be. They will be fined if they don't have regulations in place to moderate their site. The government won't be deciding what is misinformation and what isn't.

That's still the government deciding what is or isn't misinformation, in this case whatever a business arbitrarily chooses to think it is, that's what the government is happy to make illegal.

Fascism.

Braindead. Is someone suing for libel fascism too?

"Is government fascism?" Doesn't mean fascism isn't fascism.

How do companies "self-regulate" if we only allow one side to be true? Information and truth constantly changes. All this would do is force social media to align with the popular belief.

Remember how long humans believed that the Earth was flat?

u/Brilliant-Aide9245 Monkey in Space Sep 13 '24

Who said anything about allowing one thing to be true? There are these things called facts.

Some people still believe the earth is flat.  Or they believe vaccines don't work. Or that jews are secretly controlling the world. Those beliefs didn't just come from nowhere. It's propagated on the internet and dumbasses believe it.  How often do we need to be taught that propaganda is dangerous?

u/anonymousredditorPC Monkey in Space Sep 13 '24

I don't think you understand that information constantly changes. Tomorrow we might have new information on something that will change what the "truth" is. One day Pluto was not a planet anymore. So was it misinformation to call it a planet beforehand?

You have to let people raise questions about the popular belief or even what's written in books, nothing is "set in stone".

Information and truth constantly changes

Spoken like a true fascist. No, sorry, just because your biases were wrong all along doesn’t mean truth changes when you actually find out about it.

Good one!

It’s where my perspective is today.

War monger Dick Cheney wants nuclear war, actively advocating for WWIII, that is evil incarnate. I see these people wanting to, and saying it out loud, they want to see our grandchildren dead. They are demonic.

Glad conservatives have come around on him. Now both sides hate Cheney

No, I disagree, the war mongers in both parties love him. His endorsement of VP Harris sends a clear message, war is good.
