So, if you have Group A and Group B, each claiming the other is doing horrible, offensive things, which group gets deplatformed?
Since I can't legitimately reply yet, consider this a reply:
> any group not specifically defined by their intolerance.
So, would that be Hezbollah or Shas?
- JoshTriplett 8y agoThe subset of both groups actually doing the horrible, offensive things. Treating entire groups as a unit rather than as individuals is part of the problem, at least for any group not specifically defined by their intolerance.
- marcus_holmes 8y agowhich is all very well, except we're talking about deplatforming entire online communities, not merely individuals.
- JoshTriplett 8y agoEntire communities which are 1) led by people who are themselves causing such problems (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18366322 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18366322) and 2) utterly failing to deal with any such problems on their platforms.
