Of course, that requires the ability to discern when some information
might be harmful. Take for example current controversies over services
like Amazon and Google and the "filter bubble": Do you consider it
harmful for them to tailor your experience to their estimate of what you
want? Should the fact that I browsed over Marx' "Das Kapital" mean that
subsequent searches for Economics and Social Philosophy will bury
"Socialism" by von Mises so deep I won't see it? Some think it nifty
while it scares the hell out of others.
