The statement seemed anything but obtuse to me; to me it highlights one of the bigger problems that people who hire have, finding someone who is able to "meta up", someone who sees not just problems, but classes of problems and how to systematically classify problems and derive suitable systems that can solve those problems in a generic way. In other words, write programs to write programs (an obvious case of which is a compiler).

The proposal seems like it would do a lot more harm than good. Users who live in a dictatorship would have one of the biggest channels to tell their story stripped from them.

Fighting a dictatorship is different than fighting cyberbullies.

Fighting a dictatorship is just a matter of making the public lies so absurd that support is lost for their propaganda.

Cyberbullies only use believable common lies and rumor.

Umm... that statement has nothing to do with what I said.

Taking away anonymity from platforms always governments to target any individual that steps out of line.

Hopefully

Do you think there could be a reasonable way to fix that issue?

Maybe a compromise between voters picking where their taxes go and a minimum for what tax payers have to pay for a certain area?

Your point is extremely valid. Misinformation spread online and repeat in echo chambers seems to be the political climate for the USA.

Personally, I consider myself to be a Republican, but it seems fear and hatred has tainted my party. A great example would be to look at all the Republican presidential candidates for 2016 and watch how many opposed the current administration.

However, once they saw the voters following they were forced to do the same rather than demonstrate what a backbone is for.
