> I don't believe in fighting "bad ideas" by suppressing them
What is a "bad idea" is also hard to know sometimes. If I was there in the time of Galileo I would probably be fighting his "the earth goes round the sun" argument as well.
Many times great ideas first appear seemingly as "bad ideas". Which then are the good "bad ideas" and the bad "bad ideas"? It is unclear if corporates can answer that better than the world as a whole.
Maybe they should just explicitly mark the content with "this may be a bad idea" and leave it online - trusting the users?
