This is one of those things that is easy to worry about, but the sheer amount of possible 'consequences' from any misinformed point of view is impossible to actually estimate the likelihood of. We can collectively conjure up all sorts of bad things someone might do if they believe [xyz] but we should not give in to this kind of paranoia.

I don't buy into the idea that because estimation is hard thus it is "paranoia".

I don't understand what that has to do with my comment.

Moderation on say twitter /= free speech violations

I'm assuming your comments are just random from here on out. Sorry if they're not but I"m really not following what you're saying.

Then you're just being intentionally dense to wiggle out.

I would have to understand to know that I want to "wiggle out".
