Is it a recent concept? The "concept" seems as old as time. If you say it it's your responsibility. If I say it it's mine. Your editing of my speech is your speech therefore if you edit it becomes your responsibility.
A simple example just for clarity. I say "I hate my sister when she doesn't clean up but I love my sister more than anything". If you edit that to "I hate my sister" you've changed the meaning. That edit is your speech and hence your responsibility.
- jakelazaroff 7y agoSocial networks aren't "editing" anyone's speech, though. They're simply limiting its reach, or not hosting it in the first place.
- greggman2 7y agoThey are selecting which content to show. That's no different then editing. It's easy to post 2 posts where missing the context of one other the other changes the entire meaning. So by not displaying one or the other they've edited the meaning and are therefore arguably responsible for the new meaning
