Countries that wish to implement legal-based censorship don't care if an internet company has implemented moral-based censorship.
- DanielGee 8y agoSure they do. If FB stuck to legal-based censorship then they wouldn't need to ban atheist or gay rights content because those content are legal in the US. But if they swing to moral-based censorship, then those countries can appeal to morality ( their own ) and demand FB censor content in the US. Why? Because FB and tech companies have set a precedent. What defense does FB or tech companies have against people who say they consider atheism or gay rights to be immoral or offensive? None. What happens when criticizing a religion is considered hate speech? Wouldn't we have to ban atheism? What happens when people say they find content about gay marriage offensive? Moral-based censorship opens the floodgates to unlimited censorship.
