They already deal with censorship on a variety of categories where the line between acceptable and unacceptable are blurred. Nudity, hate speech, targeting, harassment, all kinds of illegal / semi-illegal trade and activity happening in various groups throughout the platform etc. No moderation can ever be perfectly objective and no platform cannot be completely open for all kinds of content, unless it's structured like Tor. And we all know what happens at Tor.
- mikece 7y agoYes, if they detect something illegal they remove it. Perhaps "censorship" was the wrong word. If they begin establishing the precedent they will censor or editorialize content which isn't illegal (all of the things you mentioned) then I think they become legally liable for things they don't edit, like slander which is a matter for civil rather than criminal courts (at least in the US).
