Katherine Maher says the "the number one challenge" in her fight against disinformation is "the First Amendment in the United States," which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "bad information" and "the influence peddlers" who spread it. NPR's censor-in-chief. ~ Christopher Rufo on X Katherine Maher: "The number one challenge here that we we see and is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States is a fairly robust, right, protection of rights. And, and that is a protection of rights both for platforms, which I actually think is very important, that platforms have those rights to be able to regulate what kind of content they want on their sites. But it also means that it is a little bit tricky to really address some of the real challenges of where does that information come from? And sort of the influence peddlers who have made a real market economy around it."
