Zuck will use the Farrakhan banning as cover to ban all conservatives.
Barack Obama’s friend and guest Louis FarrKKKhan.
I smell cover for banning Laura Loomer and her peers.
What Google, YouTube, Facebook, and similar social media platforms should do is provide a feature where users can set their own preferences as to who is blocked within the users’ sphere of activity on the platforms. This would allow the platforms to be self-regulating.
However, in their desire for godlike powers they prefer to hang onto this control. So, they implement burdensome processes that can never filter everything to anyone’s satisfaction.
Because these big companies are accepting responsibility for the content on their platforms, they should become liable for ALL content. If violence or other crimes are committed due to threats or other salacious content, their deep pockets should be accessed in the courts of law to pay for the damage done. If (and this should be “since”) intellectual property rights are violated, these companies should pay the fines and damages including actual and punitive for failing to stop IP theft on their platforms. They should be subject to forensic accounting in order to verify that such IP rights have not been abused.
Ping to Semimojo.
The only reason Farrakhan is on this list, is to have cover to ban the others.
Milo was a bit too fabulous for me but he laid bare the damage done by feminazis in the modern western world. Can’t have that.
When WE own the platforms...
We’ll be FREE.
Let my people GO.
Don’t be shocked when Farrakhan is silently reinstated.
Nazis were allowed to march in Skokie Illinois, decades ago.
The (heavily Jewish ACLU) backed them.
Social media platforms might be seen as a “public soap box” in the town’s central park.
Ass it now stands, the platform owners are opting out of the “free speech” business.
Finally I have heard discussion about the need, for “reinstatement” proceedures if somebody innocently steps over lines.
I don’t like conservatism being silenced. I do’t care much for the pain that Alex Jones caused for families of children that were murdered.
Somewhere the is a common sense solution.
“When will Facebook start banning outlets that spread the dangerous Russiagate conspiracy theory and the Russian disinformation called the Steele Dossier?”
THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF NAZIS BURNING BOOKS
TIME TO BRAND ZUCKERBERG (and those others) WITH THAT APROPOS LABEL
The bans are just getting started. I mean, c'mon! Laura Loomer? Dangerous? Paul Joseph Watson? Are they serious?
