The impossibility is not just a problem of scale.
Even if Facebook does everything right, and moderates every single thing they aim to moderate, they will still be blamed by conservatives and/or the alt-right if they censor too much, and by liberals if they censor too little. There is no type of moderation that will make all sides happy.
- Verdex_3 8y agoWait, so the conservatives want less censorship and the liberals want more censorship? Is this one of those mirror universe things?
- firemancoder 8y agoTo be fair it has flipped considerably, if you consider the extremists in each group. In the 2000s the extremist conservatives wanted to censor everything (mostly due to religion) and liberals wanted freedom of expression. Now it seems that extreme liberals want to censor "hate speech" which is absolutely valid, however the lines are moving or getting blurry to the point where they want to censor conservative ideas altogether, and conservatives want "freedom of expression". I've seen this shift and I'm sure many others have as well.
