Study shows banning false info traffickers online can improve public discourse

We just want to see how and what is defined as “false info”.<p>As any one who’s read snopes or fact check, while the fact checks often point out actually incorrect information, some of the time, they reframe the question&#x2F;narrative, assume an inaccurate scope or apply semantics in a convenient way and label something that isn’t necessarily false as not false that reflects the bias of the author.<p>It leads to a basic mistrust of what’s “false info” and what is not “false info” and so some people have a hard time trusting these types of studies and the basic premise that platforms should ban “false info”.<p>I feel Twitter’s community notes function is actually pretty good at combatting false info without creating a centralized source with the above issues.

When I read through all the subjective moral judgements I simply find that censoring users that promote a URL&#x2F;person&#x2F;view reduces its popularity.

&quot;There was a spillover effect,&quot; said Kevin M. Esterling, a UCR professor of political science and public policy and a co-author of the study. &quot;It wasn&#x27;t just a reduction from the de-platformed users themselves, but it reduced circulation on the platform as a whole.&quot;<p>I believe the term that you&#x27;re looking for is &quot;chilling&quot; not &quot;spillover&quot; effect. This not a novel effect of censorship by deplatforming.

Free speech doesn’t survive contact with AI slop guided by disinformation prompts.<p>It isn’t that it isn’t worth protecting or caring for, it’s that it disappears under the noise floor. The bad actor doesn’t have to silence the free speakers, he just needs to amplify the bullshit so nobody can hear anything that makes sense.

&quot;False info&quot; is a matter for debate. &quot;Improve public discourse&quot; too.<p>Are we saying that the conversation is less angry when everybody basically agrees?

Censorship folks always claim their censorship won&#x27;t target innocents and that it will make things better.<p>Every single time it&#x27;s attempted, it fails.

Can someone do us the favor of exfiltrating the definition of &quot;misinformation&quot; used in this paper? Does it include things that are true?

Yeah, no thanks. Many things were misinformation until they were true. Don&#x27;t forget the lesson of Li Wenliang[1], who was formally censured for &quot;publishing untrue statements&quot;. We now know him as one of the first to document COVID-19.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Li_Wenliang" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Li_Wenliang</a>

Censoring people who tell the truth does tend to aide liars in guiding the discussion.

Call it what it is: censorship.<p>Also, there is an interesting recent study from a group at Vanderbilt University that looked at the effect that European speech regulations have in muzzling of online speech.
