Bret’s overarching point was that limiting the freedom of free flowing information from all individual viewpoints does not allow us as a society to make optimal decisions going forward. While open platforms do increase the amount of information that has to be filtered by society, it also gives our society the opportunity to decide between what is good information and what is bad information for ourselves. It was great to see all the high-value questions and thoughts our audience had for Bret on such a deep topic.
