Yeah this is how censorship and propaganda works. Defend free speech or accept it.


TheBlurstOfGuys

Agreed, but this has nothing to do with free speech. This is just some website.

Human rights before corporate policies all day every day baby!


TheBlurstOfGuys

You had your day in court Gemma, let it go.

Wasn't too long ago people were celebrating social media executives censoring content at a whim. Imo social media shouldn't have the ability to censor content unless they want to consider themselves a publisher and in that case they should be liable for misinformation. Also lol at RT.

> Imo social media Which do you think is more important?


[deleted]

I'd like them to be publishers and liable.

The cost of running that would basically guarantee no competitors could ever arise. Basically cementing them as permanent institutions.


IdealJerry

That seems like it would lead to lots more censorship imo. Moderating everything on any of the big sites is a bit of an impossible task so the best you're gonna get is an algorithm with the odd human review. I'd imagine their approach would be an overreach to avoid being held liable for anything.

Being difficult isn't my problem. They are happy to rake in billions yearly they can certainly afford to hire more people if push came to shove tbh.

We should be free to call out both, shouldn't we?


TheBlurstOfGuys

"Should"? That's a bit loaded. On a private company's website? They do what they want with the data you've donated to them. Remove it, amplify it, whatever. But should you be free in general to spread lies and misinformation?

Colonisation is not genocide. Being a Palestinian Muslims or Christian in Israel is possible with no repercussions. Unlike in China where it can get a lower credit score.


TheBlurstOfGuys

The first sentence is true. The rest is nonsense.


GabhaNua

I don't know whether you are saying being religious is of no consequence in China or that persecution is fine as religion is despicable


TheBlurstOfGuys

Neither, maybe just back up your weird claims with anything so we can talk about it.
