The Future of Free Speech, Trolls, Anonymity and Fake News Online

This is so good, I needed to post it somewhere so I could find it to read it again someday.

“Many experts fear uncivil and manipulative behaviors on the internet will persist – and may get worse. This will lead to a splintering of social media into AI-patrolled and regulated ‘safe spaces’ separated from free-for-all zones. Some worry this will hurt the open exchange of ideas and compromise privacy”

Uncensored internet

Glade found that out of our audiences, less than half (45%) actually used that uncensored internet to read censored or banned material.

7-in-10 Americans consider an uncensored internet very important. https://t.co/cxpp7bJqmN pic.twitter.com/dOcDbkcSTS

“I have a Facebook, a Tumblr, and Twitter. I don’t use Facebook or Twitter much. I rather use Tumblr to look for interesting stories. I like Tumblr because I don’t have to present a specific or false image of myself, and I don’t have to interact with people I don’t necessarily want to talk to.”

— A 15-year-old female, interviewed for Pew Internet's "Teens, Social Media and Privacy" report.
