Due process: a lot of this comes from regulation targeted at large tech cos. Eg my illegal site could be criminally prosecuted and shut down with a court order but the courts are too busy so they just hold the provider criminally liable instead, forcing the provider into violating due process.
- cptaj 7y agoThey're not violating due process. There IS no process. They just click a button and you're gone. This needs to be regulated. A simple analogue of the civil process would suffice. Innocent till proven guilty would go A LONG way. These companies ban you at the first sign of trouble. They are very often wrong. Yes, this puts a lot of burden on them. Like I said, tough titties. This is your prize for growing to such a behemoth size. You can't have your cake and eat it.
- analognoise 7y agoInteresting. I think if you're a "content creator" that survives solely based on YouTube/Patreon/whatever and you get cut off, tough titties. I care way more about engines of innovation than whingey content creator types.
- cptaj 7y agoYou're being a little myopic. This applies in all industries. Content creation is only one example. You can have the best car in the world, but if all cars are bought in carmazon.com and they ban you, you're fucked. Sure, you can make your own outlet but you just lost billions in investment and you wont recover from it. All because someone clicked a checkbox in an amazon monkey moderation center. Also, you're showing a ridiculous bias against content creators. They're a completely legitimate and respectable profession.
