> You brand the stadium as a "platform" and you invite the public to treat it as such. 6 months later you have people doing drugs on one side of the stadium, holding a white supremacy rally at the other end of the stadium, and then a group of people in the bleachers playing russian roulette with the occasional casualty.
So what? People are responsible for their own individual actions. None of what you described is hurting anyone else. It may not be a pleasant place, but that's okay because it's private property. Now consider that in the digital world there's no possibility for physical harm and the example becomes entirely pointless in any case.
- hfdh434535 7y agoWe're talking about a suicide, so there is possibility for physical harm. (I'm not at all saying TikTok should be responsible for this person's suicide. Only that moderation of online platforms can have real physical consequences. When moderators respond appropriately to posts involving suicide, stalking, and child pornography, they can help prevent abuse in the physical world.)
- leppr 7y agoDoesn't take much imagination to switch up grand-parent's contrived examples for your own definition of actually threatening deeds to get their point, does it? Would "operating a slave-manned factory" or "training volunteers in crafting concealed remotely-detonated explosives" fit the bill?
- big_chungus 7y agoYou're putting words in my mouth. Your examples aren't consistent, either: > operating a slave-manned factory This is wrong. Slavery violates the personal liberty of the enslaved > training volunteers in crafting concealed remotely-detonated explosives I don't see an issue with this. The information is already available online.
