Poll: Should Deniers Be Allowed To Post In E&E?

[Cassidy1]

72. pass a law against denialism

Why tolerate falsehoods? RFK and others have called for laws against these stupid deniers. Their denials all over the internet end up hurting people in the long run. Can you imagine letting a teacher teach this to kids? Google should actually have an algorithm that puts this crap at the bottom of the google search. Like result number one million. I would say a cash fine if the person espousing it is influential, like in a major newspaper. A second violation would be a much stiffer fine. A third violation means that the denier has to perform community service. I'm not going to suggest somebody go to jail, but maybe a weekend with drunks in the drunk tanks would wake up these people. This is like stealing. Everybody knows it's wrong and it's punished. This is wrong and it should be punished.
