So, yeah, I mean, I've probably gotten a somewhat more nuanced view just because I think that there are, you know, I come at this, I'm obviously very pro freedom of expression, right?
I don't think you build a service like this that gives people tools to express themselves unless you think that people expressing themselves at scale is a good thing, right?
So I didn't get into this to like try to prevent people from expressing anything.
I like want to give people tools so they can express as much as possible, right?
And then I think it's become clear that there are certain categories of things that we've talked about that I think almost everyone accepts are bad and that no one wants and that are illegal, even in countries like the US where you have the First Amendment that's very protective of enabling speech.
It's like you're still not allowed to do things that are going to immediately incite violence or violate people's intellectual property or things like that.
So there are those, but then there's also a very active core of
just active disagreements in society where some people may think that something is true or false the other side might think it's the opposite or just unsettled right and um and those are some of the most difficult to to kind of handle like like we've talked about but um one of the lessons that i feel like i've learned is that a lot of times when you can
the best way to handle this stuff more practically is not in terms of answering the question of should this be allowed, but just like what is the best way to deal with someone being a jerk?
Is the person basically just having a like repeat behavior of like causing a lot of issues?
So looking at it more at that level,
That's true.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
No, I think you, and I think you want to be careful about that.
I'm not sure I'm expressing this very, very clearly.
Um,
because I certainly agree with your point there.
And my point isn't that we should not have people on our services that are being controversial.
That's certainly not what I mean to say.
