8chan took the shooter's manifesto down way faster than it took Facebook to take down the Christchurch shooter's streams. You're mistaken if you think that 8chan "relentlessly fails to comply with the rules", anyone paying attention knows that they're very responsive. This is nothing more than a witchhunt because people want the site to go away.
- afiori 7y agoFacebook and others focus an inane amount of energy in keeping up a "healthy place" facade. Even if 8chan was super meticulous on the rules I doubt it could pull off the same feat without comparable effort.
- hrktb 7y agoI get your point, but I think responsiveness is just an aspect of the issue. For 8chan and for any other platform. For instance if you were harrassed on twitter, twitter being blazingly fast at taking down tweets you report wouldn’t help you much, you’d still have to report every single tweet of users harrassing you. Even if 8chan takes down every violence threat, if it still propagated enough to be worth it for the poster, 8chan’s modus operandi has very little impact on the situation. I am not saying it’s easy, just that they clearly haven’t found a good solution.
