    Imagine 10 thousand people see the list and everyone asks about it? No. Such lists are bad for society, they always were. This can be misused.

    We already know that they can be misused and have solutions for it.

    First we validate the claims in the list and counterclaims against the list. Secondly, lists that are false or outdated get put on ignore lists, and lists that are shown to be correct and up-to-date end up going on trusted lists. Thirdly, those ignore and trust lists are put through the same process themselves. Forth, new inputs constantly come through at the lowest level which means that lists (and metalists) themselves are always updating. This means they can never reach an equilibrium or a top level list which could allow a trusting trust attack. It’s trust but verify the whole way down.


    And we know it works.

    That’s how we have email anti-spam lists, adblocking lists, malware lists, etc…

      You fail to understand we are talking about humans, not about spam, ad or malware. Talking about humans like that and putting lists like this is what Hitler would do.

        No.

        You’re conflating two completely different things.

        Hitler made lists of people to reduce their liberties, silence them, then eventually “disappear” them.

        Adblockers make lists to ignore ads. No one is stopping people from writing ads. People are opting-in to ignore them.

        That’s the distinction, the ads are still there and you can expose yourself them if you wish. There is no mandate, everything is opt in.

        The lists we’re talking about here are adblocking for people. Not target lists for death squads.

          I don’t think you understood what I said, because no one is talking about killing people. There is no excuse for having public lists of humans to be blocked, because they are a bit weird or are connected to weird people. Just because one person has this opinion. Its extremely dangerous, because most people look at the list (because they don’t know these persons) and believe and follow it.

          Have you not learned a single thing past human history (not only internet)?
