"We omit names and faces of the authors because we have no intention of exposing anyone. We just want to educate people so that in future they think about the consequences before posting racist comments,"
This is always the same thing, educating people, make them realize that comments have consequences, etc. But, at the end of the day, does it ever work? I mean if someone makes racist comments that's because they're racist, they're racist in a world where racism is daily condemned, how can a billboard change that?
All these campaigns against racism, domestic violence, etc. Do they ever yield any result?
- rexfm 11y agoI wish they wouldn't blur the images.
- kazinator 11y agoWould you still wish that if someone posted racist comments using a fake account under your name, with your picture? Even a true picture can give rise to cases of mistaken identity. Someone who looks a lot like you could appear on a billboard, and people who see you out in public assume it's you from your face.
- stevetrewick 11y agoWhich you posted from a pseudonymous throwaway account. Classy.
- cballard 11y agoThat isn't logically inconsistent, i.e. "if you don't want things associated with your name forever, don't put them on the internet under your name". If someone posts racist bile under a pseudonym, it also won't be associated with his or her name. kazinator's comment is the real issue with that idea, I think.
