Is this why you believe we should not be able to have free speech anymore? That someone will decide to fabricate all sorts of things about you? Is this what they are doing to some of our supposedly elected officials?
So they have in turn enlightened you to the fact that if someone can do it to them, they could in turn do it to anyone. Even you. You must ask yourself, do you really care if you know they are false and can be proven false?
Or would you be more inclined, if even the smallest one was remotely true, to get rid of it all and ban such activity. So as to never let it be known again. You and I are protected from such stuff as this by slander laws and what not. Which leads me to think about why they wouldn't address some of this stuff openly.
Your right, I don't get what you are peddling.
I really am not paranoid or give a damn about what people have to say. I am concerned that kids, the culturally unaware, the not too bright, are coming across designedly false information that is more accessible and prominent - and accepting it as fact.

Well when someone decides they don't like you and starts making stuff up on your personal life, sexual preferences, illegal activities, addictions, and putting in online - they can quote you.
It's the "free thought of a citizen."

I think that those who are so quick to name call must have delusions of grandeur to think they are such a threat that 'agents' would be engaged to create 'disinfo'. The funniest thing is that 'disinfo', if it exists, is just as likely to come from those putting forward the extreme theories. What better way to undermine a site eh?

With this I can only guess where you are going. Do I care about the what the free thought of a citizen is? Are you afraid that someone will post all of your indiscretions online? This is how you justify squelching free thought and expression?
Sunstein by the way would like to make it possible for animals to be able to file lawsuits. Do you think there is a way for them to scare you into accepting this as well? I believe they can make you accept anything they want you to.
