- King-Aaron 8y agoSo if I were to say, "Hey guys, you can get two ounces of pure, uncut cocaine right here, right now... Just send me cash via PayPal and I'll post it to you today!" and no HN moderator removes this comment, then I have posted an unlawful advertisement on HN. By your standing, the operators are now violating the law as soon as a moderator glances across this shitpost, and would require punishment. While that's clearly a ridiculous thing at face value - and I am likely coming across as obtuse by mentioning it - it highlights just what's wrong with your position I feel. I would consider it unrealistic to expect a large-scale content platform like facebook to be liable for individual ads. (Perhaps they could be proactive in reporting offenders to the correct authorities, but a knee-jerk punishment doesn't seem appropriate to me).
