I'm not sure where I sit on this, as there are demonstrable harms that occur when gullible people absorb false narratives. I agree critical thinking skills need to be taught, but common sense can be difficult to instill when "group-think" and peer pressure are at play. Still, I don't like governments deciding what I should see, that's a slippery slope as governments inevitably change.

Elon has suggested he wants accounts verified (i.e., people must use their real names). I hope that's true. It's been estimated that nearly 50% of Twitter accounts are trolls and people posting in anonymity, using names like "GrilledCheese4EVAH." I believe people should use their real names and be accountable for what they say.

Thanks for a thought-provoking article, Bebe.
