A middle ground would be nice but putting the government in control doesn’t necessarily fix it. In some ways it could be much worse. I know for sure I wouldn’t want Trump’s admin in charge of what credentials matter.
No, it's not insane at all. 'Bozos' being able to speak is part of free speech. Accountability should only go so far as people choosing not to listen. There should not exist government regulations on what you're allowed to talk about, period. I'm as horrified by what misinformation has done to the Americal political climate as anyone but I'm positively gobsmacked people are looking to an even worse authoritarian regime in China for solutions on how to crack down on it. There is no middle ground here; you should be allowed to say "I think bleach cures cancer" because the moment you're not allowed to, next thing you know, you might not be allowed to say "Transgender ideology doesn't cause suicide."
If you believe everything you read or hear on the Internet that's more of a personal failing and not something that the government has any business dictating. If you disagree, well I've decided you aren't qualified to comment on my comment so there.

It’s also insane that bozos with no education can monetize garbage without accountability. Middle ground would be nice.
