I’ve been reading “The age of surveillance capitalism” and the author posits that once social networks start censoring users, they become responsible for the moderation of the platform 

Today tech CEOs testified at Congress and it seems that majority of the senators want *higher* moderation on these platforms

My q to the philosophy channel is how do you build an uncensored social platform at scale when there is harm such as CP, sextortion, scams, bots etc. 

In this context harm is subjective. I don’t mean harm = illegal. CP is illegal, sending 1000 $DEGEN and getting 10k back is a scam but not illegal. They are both bad.

a possible approach is build a system that gives each individual a personalized layer of censorship (e.g. guardian AI). You’d also need to give communities (e.g channels) a method to set their own behavior rules. You aren’t restricting the platform, but empower individuals to dictate what they want protection from.
