About IDS:
So, to illustrate why I disagree, imagine you had infinite high quality human resources, so for a social media platform you could assign one such person to each user's feed. Is that a good outcome? It seems that you think it is, but I think it is not.
There is no baseline objective absolute truth against which people could or should be measured. So what is obviously correct to you may not be, to me.
This is a category of thinking similar to e.g. intellectual property. The issue with IP is not that it's *intrinsically* an immoral or wrong concept (I think it is intrinsically wrong, but you can take the opposite view); the real issue is that such a rule is not practically enforceable and hence attempting to do so leads to awfully bad outcomes. The concept of money laundering is similar: while you *can* take the position that money should be policed in that way, the real problem is the evil consequences of the level of violence required to attempt to enforce the idea.
Similarly, you can make a case that certain kinds of "dishonest" speech should be policed in a public forum, but the effect of doing so would be/are absolutely terrible.
