| MichaelA | v1.14.0May 8th 2021 | (+144/-67) I think the first sentence was a bit incorrect (it didn't specify the information was true, and saying the *information* is potentially dangerous seems misleading, e.g. with attention hazards). So I replaced it with Bostrom's definition. | ||

views -views—for instance, whether new knowledge is good in itself, or whether it is wrong to restrict personalliberty -liberty—and on one’s empirical views of what the outcome of such suppression is likely to be.
