It has to be treated as criminal negligence when a platform applies its 'Terms of Use' or rule of conduct, selectively.
I think that will solve the problem.
Today, HN or Twitter can, selectively, diminish visibility of pro-conservative content and posts, while not applying the same scrutiny to the other side.
They can sit there and claim neutrality, ask for 'evidence' and so on.
But really, they are the ones that should be convincing courts that they were not partial, biased or selective in applying their Terms of Use.
- intended 6y agoTrue. From what I hear the conservatives are constantly given a pass because the platforms are too scared of exactly this scenario. I’m surprised they found a reason to act like this when the conservatives are in power.
- morpheuskafka 6y agoSure they can. And "pro-conservative" users as well as anyone who likes to read their content can start their own forum for discussion online, or use one that their find more welcoming.
- sieabahlpark 6y agoThat would then imply that the previous provider is a publisher not a platform. The whole point of this discussion? Of course you can build your own everything, you could build your own electrical grid with your own power generation too but instead we reasonably say that if you can afford it you have access to it.
