Most Americans say the U.S. government and technology companies should each take steps to restrict false information and extremely violent content online.

65% of Americans support tech companies moderating false information online and 55% support the U.S. government taking these steps. These shares have increased since 2018. Americans are even more supportive of tech companies (71%) and the U.S. government (60%) restricting extremely violent content online.

    Americans are generally quite stupid. Imagine asking private big tech to moderate what you can see online. :)

    But it’s the same in every country. The large masses are clueless. If you ask Europeans, you would get the same response even though it’s Americans moderating it, which is even worse.

    You know Microsoft is planning to put the next windows online and let people just access it? Same pattern here, people trusting big tech with their own privacy and integrity. So weird.
