The law does not define morals, or ethics.
They invite the worst kind of hatemongers to their site. That makes them as bad in my books. If all you care about is whether they are following the letter of the law or not, that is a very naïve and childish view.
- popzq 7y agoOn the other hand, wanting to silence those you disagree with is very mature.
- busymom0 7y agoThe argument boils down to what exactly is hate speech. Something which you find offensive could be totally okay to a lot of other people. Culture, language, satire/comedy/sarcasm etc all play a huge role in what's offensive to someone. I am an immigrant from another country and things which are said there is offensive here and vice versa.
- repolfx 7y agoBut you can argue Twitter does the same. I see hate speech against my race and gender all the time. For evidence, just look at what happens when people post "it's ok to be white". Notch did it recently: massive meltdown. Very obviously these platforms are full of people who don't think it's OK to be white, which is pure racist hatred. Where are the bans? Why does saying such an innocuous thing trigger such hatred with no response from these supposedly hate-fighting platforms? What about all the hate towards Trump when he says good morning, have a nice day? Nothing happens. Of course, we know why. It's because the people who run them are fine with the right kind of hate, if they believe it to be justified by history.
