Okay ๐คทโโ๏ธ
EDIT They can say whatever they want. But so can you. So where's the problem?
The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.
In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.
Who gets to decide what's disinformation?
Once upon a time, scientific consensus classified homosexuality as a mental disorder.
This is why psychology is a soft science and not worthy of the authority afforded to hard sciences.
oooh. now do economics!!
The problem with economics is that people think that the best economy is one where the richest people make the most amount of money as quickly as possible.
