I think the big question here is who should then 'regulate' the marketplace of ideas? In a free speech society is this the government? Is it corporations?
In either case or a combination thereof the regulation will undoubtedly contain bias. Thus why free speech is supposed to be free speech.
In economics it is understood the only way to accomplish a true monopoly is through government regulation. If we allow government regulation of in the marketplace of ideas we run a very real risk of seeing monopolies of ideas.
I don't know what the answer is, but I don't think that flooding the market with fakes is a good thing. I do know that most people don't like to be wrong and there's a human tendency to double down rather than admit a mistake.
I've tried to engage in conflicting opinions here trying to find a common ground and have failed every time. I'm stupid enough to try again but shit gets ugly fast and I don't want dang to have to scold me yet again.
