I don’t know about ten years ago, twenty maybe. But the internet of today is not the internet of then.

Back then someone could have created an offensive blog and it wouldn’t have been taken down. But people would have to link to it, seek it out. Now we have social media sites algorithmically pushing content in our faces, IMO it’s only fair that they’re asked to consider what they’re pushing when they do it.

It seems to me that suggests that maybe we should evaluate a model where we pull, and share content ourselves.

The issue I've seen is that tends to make it hard to sneak ads into the feed without it being really obvious to everyone what is being done.
