The individual and the community is exceptionally bad at this type of thing. Government may be as well, though.

Are you saying that everybody is or are you leaving out corporations because you thing that corporations are good at it?

I'm saying that people in general are bad at filtering and ignoring bad content. I have no experience with corporations doing it - I don't have a Facebook account - but I certainly am not pleased with the way journalistic bodies filter for content. I package them separately from general "corporations" because supposedly that would be their specialty. Rather, all I see is agendas being peddled.
