It's sad how bad the echo chamber is getting recently.
Yet another black man dead to police violence and it gets flagged when a post about it stays up. This happened days ago (George Floyd being murdered, not this arrest), this is the 1st post to stick and gets flagged instantly, but there are how many posts about the Twitter/Trump fued?
Seems more and more recently that we simply aren't allowed to discuss certain things here at all. Pretending they aren't happening because discussion would be too hard doesn't make them go away.
edit to clarify George Floyd died days ago
- meragrin_ 6y agoThere is nothing to discuss about the George Floyd story. The cops seriously fucked up. I have yet to see anyone dispute that. I haven't even seen a union remark defending the cop. This is not the place to check out the latest news stories. You want the latest news stories, go to Google, Yahoo, CNN, or where ever. As for the Twitter/Trump feud, there is still debate on whether Twitter has grown into something which is a public space. While the Supreme Court has not declared social media the modern public square, they have referred to it as the modern public square in a ruling. It is worth to debate whether and what types of rules should be applied to the dominate social media sites. They certainly are moving away from just hosting for user content.
