As my wife gently explained to me:
"You can't use logic to debate with someone about their opinion if they did not use logic to form it in the first place".

… and he and the GOP are covering up the Epstein Files to distract from "Project 2025" which is being deployed under the radar …
Don't be fooled: literally everything Trump has ever done is a distraction from what he's actually doing, according to the Democrats.
Everything Trump has ever done is a distraction, of course

Not only but also: it's also possible for humans to detect and correct for others bias.
It's called critical thinking*.
This allows talent to have facts when reporting news as professionally as possible, & opinions as they communicate with the world as individuals.
*it should be taught in school.

All have "bias". It's inherent in humans.( We used to say it would be eradicated in 'Robots ...not anymore.)
It'ss still possible for humans to detect their own bias, excuse themselves where they don't believe their dealings will be fair.
Trust in, and respect for, honesty does not need rules!

Legal content is a moving target. In some countries, posting criticism of the government is illegal (take the US for example!).
Defining & defending free speech will contain risks only the rich can afford to take.
And often, it is not in the affluent persons best interest to do so …

No. This means only rich corporation or politically supported companies can afford to post content. The rest will fear litigation, as laws can be changed, goalposts moved, and a lengthy battle can cripple a company that is boing nothing wrong.
This is a law for the rich and powerful.

Excellent. Brazil's Supreme Court makes social media directly liable for illegal content
We need more of this. Social media companies need to be treated like publishers & held to account over their content
Ruling makes platforms liable for 3rd-party content deemed illegal even without court order

Platforms will now be required to remove content promoting anti-democratic actions, terrorism, hate speech, child pornography and other serious crimes 'immediately.'

It's only comforting if you are comfortable with doublethink.
I'm sure Jim Jones' followers were happy consuming their cool aid drink.
If you think being fooled is better than realising the truth.
You're part of the problem and not the solution.
