alt Hacker Newsbad take. that's the lane censorship we have today. on tiktok, even gun related channels have to say "pewpew". and book review people have to say "unalive" when describing a plot. it's borderline ridiculous.
now, advertises on the other hand. there is no excuse why companies making obscene profits can't be liable for now vetting obvious scams.

If you knowingly distribute something fraudulent you should be liable even if someone else is paying for it and you automated everything.
Ethically it's not much different than knowingly selling goods someone else stole.

The solution isn’t censorship. Instead it should kill algorithmic feeds. A company is responsible if their algorithm rewards harmful content. Meanwhile, “just show me what I’m following in chronological order” is unbiased, and worked fine for years
