Have you considered that spreading false information is common on that forum that i should simply not attend? Maybe the idiots you talk to on 4chan should be held to a higher standard? Or do you think "doing your own research" means believing in the first thing a right wing retard news source tells you?

If "false information" is common there... don't go there. No, I don't think they, or indeed anyone, needs to be held to a "higher standard". No one is obligated to tell you "the truth" as you see it. If you're uncomfortable being on a forum where you opinions may be challenged then the American side of the Internet simply isn't for you. In fact, if it really bothers you that much, may I suggest that your country recommend de-peering from the global Internet? That would certainly solve the problem.

I think you should de-peer from the internet, as someone not interested in pursuing a utilitarian ideal. You have misunderstood what 'the problem' is, like most parasites with a god complex.

I'm on board with not censoring the army of agenda driven liars on 4chan but I just want people to know that they do make up lies and shift public opinion on the payroll of despotic oligarchs. There is no political truth to be had on any "chan" because there is a group or groups working hard to spread lies and set every visitor off course.
