I’m in Minneapolis. There are already suspicions that posts post-curfew to Snapchat, Twitter, and Facebook are being blocked or are seeing significant post delays. It’s unconfirmed, but local news is started to dig into it a bit. I have acquaintances who believe they have been censored.
- basch 6y agoLeaving riots and looting on the snapmap could be seen as first hand journalism, showing people what is really happening, or as giving a voice to those glorifying destruction. Hiding or delaying riots and looting from the snapmap could be seen as censorship or keeping the peace, by preventing everyone from jumping to join in until its over. An editorial delay to perceived live events, in the interest of public safety, in an interesting wrinkle in the debate between censorship vs fanning the fire.
