But how do you define promotion of content?
We all know the insane Nazi messages which sometimes are on slashdot. Sometimes slashdot hides them(Which is the same as promotion all other messages, since these will now be shown before/instead of) the nazi messages.

Other times based on message score, Slashdot chooses to show and highlight the Nazi messages, aka promoting them, so if this lawsuit wins, slashdot and all other websites which show user content, and just don't show them in order would be tost.

Not to talk about all the search engines. If I search for Nazi or Isis things all the search engines will find it for me, and recommend the best websites for the content I want, as well as other related queries and related subjects.

Not Recommending/Filtering(The same thing, really) is the same as showing all content in random order, or by created date and both these options sucks.

No that is not true at all. What you do in a sane system if you want region representation is that you use the number of the votes for a party, to determine the total number of congress members for that party, and then you use the number of votes in each region to determine where exactly the members come from.

The math is rather more complicated in the real world, but most of EU(Except uk) is running on a variation of that system.
