People here don't because the attitude here is "it's Facebook so fuck them".
- bennysonething 6y agoWhich I don't really understand, it's an attempt at global censorship, that's the concern. But as it's a ruling against Facebook the general impression I get is casual dismissal
- hahaiscjaaka 6y agoBecause people here are thinking based on principles and values shared by the majority. They are thinking based on elitism that thinks highly of itself for disliking facebook. The same happens in US politics, where people disregard the “common good” (you know, healthcare) because “muh freedom trump good obama bad”
- herbst 6y agoFacebook is actively ignoring EU privacy laws by shipping private data out of the EU. You can not reflect this on the whole internet, but on facebook only. As many have said already
- roadwarrior7822 6y agoNot casual dismissal, no "fuck them". Just: This ruling is not about censoring the internet. It's about keeping a huge actor from publishing a type of content. My point was that it is a problem that so many people are dependent on the standing of this single player. If Facebook it outlawed somewhere, this silences everyone on the platform. And not to forget that it gives Facebook the ability to promote or censor content as much as they want. But they wouldn't, because they're all about free speech. Phew!
