Since the law and surrounding professions havn't been really constructive in being beneficial in providing a better internet and I am very critical of fact checkers, I had low expectations of this article. But the suggestions are far better compared to what we heard before. I don't agree with everything, but this is a more constructive approach.

Not that I think browser TLS warnings are good, since they are heavily paternalizing, Edge being the worst with special options to even have the ability to ignore TLS errors. I can see the need in a corporate environment however that there is policy control to really enforce TLS.

Still, an error remains that people rely on politics to fix hate on the internet. "Hate" - as if this emotion isn't prevalent between two very split groups of people. What do you do to love the others a bit more? What good can liberals say about conservatives and vice versa? Not possible? That problem isn't fixed by big tech speech control.
