I completely understand this move. It seems logical enough, and it's much like what Reddit has done/is doing banning certain hateful subreddits. Advertisers don't want to advertise with companies who are known to host hate-speech or anything of that caliber. However, a move like this is essentially going down the rabbit's hole: you can never get to the bottom. Who decides what constitutes hate speech? No doubt, certain groups will claim they are being censored much like what happened recently with Facebook and conservatives. It may seem like a perfectly good move, but it's just not viable in the long-term.
- talmand 10y agoEspecially when sometimes this is being forced by a group of people who seem to be professional complainers. First they cut out 10% of the users for this violation, then another 10% of the smaller group for that violation, then another 10% of the new smaller group for another violation, and so on and so on. Eventually you're just left with the complainers, who'll just move onto another platform to start over with the complaining.
