The whole point of my comment is that these platforms have never had the expectation of being a free for all. Upload a video of a penis and watch how long that lasts. And I don’t think “incites violence against actual people in the real world” is a newly banned category either.
- unimpressive 8y agoNo, I think they do have that expectation. 'Everything but porn' is a pretty widely accepted free for all category on the web. But yes, 'incites violence' is an actively illegal category; I suspect the only reason it's lasted this long is that the moderation muscles have atrophied so hard nobody seemed willing to go first in banning Jones completely.
- mikeash 8y agoEverything but porn, classified documents, personal information without the consent of the person, copyrighted works, encouragement of suicide... I could go on. You can find all of these things on the web, but they are far from widely accepted.
