Loose Speech for the Web Age

Have you been worried about free speech as much as I have?

How do you value and encourage free expression when there’s a terrible tendency among some, like President Trump, to flood public space with crap? There’s an important dialog going on about this that I feel demands our attention. We need to re-tool the First Amendment for the internet age, resisting censorship, while being able to effect sensible curation so we only waste our time when we decide to!

My idea is that any post made to public space on the internet with information about its content, somewhat like we are familiar with in movie ratings; not a limit but a flag about content. In an age of mass surveillance this is a scary prospect, but I believe there’s a way to address both issues safely, preserving dignity and privacy.

Here is where AI––which terrifies me in general for its inhuman intelligence––can be very useful. Here’s exactly where you want a referee that HAS NO HEART! For details I’ve outlined the idea in my umbrella idea for a Democratic Globe (a system for global citizenship to augment our national one). If you have a better idea or can think of how this one can be improved, please comment or contact me! The universe is yet unfinished…
