#3A little awkwardly named as this appears to have little to do with OpenAI.

#4So basically what they want is somebody to start working on solving the fake news problem?
Can anybody explain to me why exactly we find it increasingly necessary to try and censor the internet?

Agreed. Looks like an issue with the HN title, since the page itself doesn’t seem to use that language.

Ah, I don't think we should "censor" the internet. I liked the interned the way it used to be: Like a goddamn jungle.
With that being said, Internet has a huge influence over everything now. We need to make sure it's not fucking over societies.
Right today I was reading an article how people are drinking their own pee and applying it to their skin as a health measure to heal and have better skin. And they find an audience (who craves for that stuff).
I don't think the internet needs to be censored but I think we need to fix the problem of credibility on the internet: I would love to be able to call BS I read but it's becoming incredibly hard. There's just too much out there.

EXACTLY. Censorship is censorship, even if it's for the so called "Greater Good", as they state in this article.
They state: "we believe that it is necessary to ensure that AI serves the public good."
Let people determine fake news for themselves. We don't want a bunch of automoton people that trust everything they read on the internet. We should instead make them aware that news could be fake and they should further research before making conclusions. Making algorithms detect what's fake and telling people, "Don't worry, we found all the fake news, you can believe what we show you" will farm mediocre people. For some reason, AI folks in Silicon Valley believe they are superior to middle America and they feel it's their duty to protect them from 'fake news'. People can think for themselves.
"To deny free speech in order to engineer social change in the name of accomplishing a greater good for one sector of our society erodes the freedoms of all," Judge Barker says that it "threatens tyranny and injustices for those subjected to the rule of such laws."

Credibility has always been an issue...
People need to learn to filter out nonsense themselves, or else they become dependent on outside sources to do their own thinking, thereby lowering their IQ over time.
