We need Russians - or people outside of the progressive bubble of Europe and North America - to create an alternate internet, please. Starting with browser, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook replacement. Then onto OS - mobile and desktop.

The article leads with a big "HEY LOOK, we can be trendy and dunk on the President too!" And then sort of whimpers its way into the ever popular "let's have 'independent' fact-checkers to tell you up is down and left is right." "All animals are equal, but left leaning animals are more equal"
If there's one person you don't have to be pursuing trendiness to criticize, it's Trump.
This is not a good road to go down. We've seen where it leads.
I hate to say it, but I think that big tech feels responsible for radicalizing folks, and Trump is the perfect scapegoat. Is it really crazy to believe that tech wants to continue using their algorithms (known to cause radicalization) and are using Trump as a scapegoat?
Mozilla seems to go out of its way to make it harder for right-leaning people to back them with every move they make... I can't help but feel we're in for a bumpy 2021.
This thread is a joke. Mozilla is putting forth some great ideas to fix the internet without overt censorship. A plan that can work in the long term to improve the internet.
The blog post also explicitly advocates in favor of deplatforming. It doesn't just get to walk away from that, even if it has additional recommendations.
Twitter should never be a public forum unless the US government feels they need the existing user ecosystem when they turn it into a utility.

The Mozilla blog post you are replying about is suggesting increasing transparency , not suggesting more censorship.
"Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation." Who gets to decide which is which? Why would I want to tell people they are wrong about how they experience the world when they disagree with the way I do?
It is a fact regardless of a person’s experience. The word you’re thinking of is opinion. Which is how someone interprets a fact or a set of facts.

Purely anecdotal, but I know a bunch of "right leaning" people who are completely done with the bullshit and share Mozilla's sentiment. You may be speaking for fewer people than you realize.
I'm over and done with Trump, but it would have been a lot more effective for everyone if they had let him skulk meekly off into irrelevance.
