roenxi wrote "Restricting software use to only people approved by the creators is a terrible idea." which you apparently interpreted "people approved" as people who marginalize or mislead others. Which shows your bias and dramatically misses the point. You would allow the restriction of software based on subjective measures like "misleading the public" and "marginalize people". Would you ban the CDC and the WHO? They have mislead the public. Would you ban twitter, they have marginalized conservative opinions. The open expression of thought increases human knowledge and prevents groupthink. You don't have to agree with everything you hear or read. In fact you shouldn't, but you should be fore open expression and you should gain the skills to counter the speech you disagree with logically instead of simply attempting to silence others.
