Fair point, I'd agree that 4 and 7 verge on censorship (I'm less convinced about 6 -- I draw a line between functions that Facebook performs as a content transmitter and as a discovery platform. I would argue that disrupting content transmission constitutes censorship, but curating the discovery platform does not.)
Still, it gets to my point that 7 or (arguably) 8 of the 10 demands do not directly call for censorship.
- ergocoder 6y agoFor number 4, who should make the judgement whether a speech falls into that category though. Should it be Facebook or our justice system? I'd rather not have Facebook do that.
- Nasrudith 6y agoIt can't be our justice system without a constitutional ammendment - which leaves just Facebook.
- ergocoder 6y agoThen, pushing for an amendment would be the right approach and far better than having Facebook be a judge. Using Facebook as a judge becomes more like popularity contest with who can scream the loudest and are willing to harass Facebook employees for results.
