I’ve been reading about the #kagi drama today (They have started using the Brave API for search results. The CEO of Brave is problematic.) and it has surfaced a lot of interesting questions I’ve not thought deeply about before.

Should a private company have the power to sensor content on their platforms?

There are obvious arguments for this right? Nazis are obviously bad etc. But if we force companies to do that, where do they draw the line? Who actually decides what is right and wrong?

In a non perfect world, how many levels removed from something your find amoral do you have to be before you’re okay benefitting from it?

In some ways we all do that, right?

I get that these are all just my dumb thoughts and that I have a lot of privilege, but are there any right answers to those questions where there aren’t also negative consequences?

This cartoon is relevant I think
