Question for all regardless of where you live...

I've been following the U.S. vs TikTok court battle and along with other cases in the recent past, I'm wondering if it is time for "Big Brother" to limit/ban/censor or otherwise have a say so on what sites and what content is permissible on the internet.

If so, under what conditions and who makes the judgments?

If not, then why not?

I'd like to get your thoughts and ideas... I'm for some limited and well-defined constraints/bans, etc., but I'm on the fence about how if could be reasoanbly/equitably applied/enforced.

And there in is the problem.... Who makes the judgements? Because we're all bias and all judgemental based on our morals, beliefs, upbringing, background, culture etc etc etc

I'd like to see some kind of "truth engine" which gives an easily understood indication of the likely voracity of a post. But then of course there will be those who immediately shout "The truth engine is only their truth" and it goes on.

I've stopped reading anything on X as that frankly is just unregulated wild west nonsense now you can't trust a thing. Facebook I only use with friends I know. I use news sources I trust directly as much as possible.
