Everyone is responsible for his own content diet. Freedom of speech is fundamental in a free society. How do you distinguish “truth” from misinformation and propaganda without it?
It does answer. If you die because you did whatever someone told you, it’s still your own responsibility for blindly following ill advice. I’m not implying that nobody should be trusted. I’m clearly saying, it’s your responsibility to choose who you trust.
What if my doctor gives malicious advice aimed to cause me harm? Am I still responsible for that? Isn’t the doctor at fault for what they did?
Then you are responsible for trusting the untrustworthy. It really doesn’t matter if he is at fault since he cannot harm you if you don’t trust him in the first place.
Some people can’t make such decisions and should be protected somehow. Getting knowledge and information to people is better than just blocking bullshit but it’s way less effort required to create new bullshit then to refute it. Especially if there is already a bigger fundamental knowledge-deficit in the targeted group.
Also I don’t see how this is a big deal as google/youtube has always collaborated with the usa for censorship so why shouldn’t they do it in the eu too?

Do you think people shouldn’t be responsible for whom they trust?

Your “protected” reads “dependent” ^^
