False. In any scenario where a censor can claim Person A is saying X while also censoring Person A, anything Person A says that conflicts with the censors’ narrative will itself be censored.
- jakelazaroff 6y agoBut all narratives would be consistent. This is the scenario we're talking about: 1. Person A says X on Facebook. 2. Facebook removes Person A's post. 3. Journalist reports that Person A said X and that Facebook removed it. Why would Person A suddenly disclaim X? They want X to be heard, which is why they said it on Facebook in the first place. And again, there are ways to archive digital content even if its original source has been taken down.
- philwelch 6y ago> 3. Journalist reports that Person A said X and that Facebook removed it. Alternative: Journalist claims that Person A said Y and that Facebook removed it. Person A is unable to disclaim it because every time they repeat X it gets taken down and misreported as Y. The public are none the wiser.
