So private platform and private parties shouldn't have the right to moderate and regulate their own spaces?
Platforms with near-monopoly level control of public discussion should be considered part of the public forum. This weird libertarianism from "lefties" deeply concerns me.
A public forum, I assume paid for and maintained by the taxes of the public?
Nobody made you open up a social space to the public, and nobody is making you keep it open. Also I want you to explain how you can reconcile being on the left but also supporting corporate rights over those of individual humans?
You didn't answer my question.
Who would pay for the platform, and who would moderate it? Or do you just want even more hate speech to spread?
I see, you cannot reconcile being on the left with supporting corporations over people. Not surprised but thank you for confirming.
Sorry, life got in the way. I'm not surprised you're not familiar with such matters.
I am surprised how much you support spreading hate speech by removing the ability of moderation.
Major media outlets and companies should not be considered private platforms. Anyone can sign up and post while they use their money and influence to decide who gets heard. This is a problem, and I'm pretty ticked off about how people don't seem to mind when it's in their favor. Double standards are bad, no matter which side.
Do you think Facebook should get to control which posts rise up and which fall with their analytics around election time? Me neither. Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don't want people silenced for their perspective. I don't want an echo chamber.
Really? Now I'm curious, how do you imagine that?
I assume the company still pays for the platform, hosting, development, etc. Since it's public, are they now subsidised by taxes?
Who moderates the platforms then? Are is it all just unmoderated?
Will companies get compansated for lost revenue?
I genuinely curious how you imagine this working.
Yeah, because it's theirs. They own it.
If I let everyone into my house for a party, doesn't mean I lose the right to kick people out.
I'm okay with an echo chamber if it means I don't have to put up with CP and jihadi execution footage in my cute cat feed.
I assume it would be no problem for you.
