The control of the debate did not have a positive effect

Þórarinn Hjartarson, a radio manager of one pile, says that it is not a matter of concern that pods are not edited.

In the latest episode of Day, Þórarinn discusses the pods and their position in the community. Asked if conspiracy theories will not be able to grasp in pods and whether there is no disadvantage that there is no editorial on them, Thorarin says:

« No, just not at all. Cristopher Hitchens said at some time that conspiracy theory was some kind of democracy that was (…) getting the nonsense from the truth. I think this is quite there too. I never believe that the control of the debate is going to have a positive impact. Both it is not possible and on the other hand it would also be bad, ”says Thorarin.

People are free to comment

He says that in the Covid epidemic, people wanted to control the debate he says dangerous.

Rather, he wants people to be free to express themselves and says it is important to trust people for information.

« I really take a lot in Pole Sam Harris and Cristopher Hitching that the opposite of bad views is more debate, » says Thorarin.
