You think the world will be better when literally anyone can create convincing misinformation and propaganda? Personally I prefer when that power is limited, even if there are still powerful entities that can do it
I think everything gets better when it's less centralized. What does this "misinformation and propaganda" actually attack? A system so weak that it can't be defended against lies?
Would it be better if everyone had access to nuclear weapons? Or biohazards?
Some things in this world, the fewer people that have access to them, the better. In a perfect world, we might have nobody have access to those things, but I'll settle for few rather than many.
I know this one, this is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
Anyway, I think it would be better if a SINGLE PERSON couldn't launch nukes, decentralization would absolutely be better.
It's not a straw man. My point was that some things should not be completely democratized and have zero barrier to entry. You need a license to drive a car or buy a gun (in the civilized parts of the world anyway), so why should you be able to mass produce psychological warfare materials to sow disinformation without any friction or barrier to entry?
