This is a rational economic response to outrage culture.
Anti-white speech elicits minimal economic damage (ie no backlash).
Anti-black speech elicits enormous consequences.
So Facebook is simply calibrating their model to accurately reflect the real world cost for the company of different types of speech.
- dandare 6y agoBased on the same logic, not letting black people in your neighbourhood is the same rational economic response to crime. That is why we don't allow for discrimination based on race or gender.
- caffeine 6y agoI think the variable of interest with crime is poverty, not race. Rich black people don't commit more crime than rich white people. And we DO discriminate economically in our neighborhoods - people move to wealthier areas where the opportunity cost of crime is higher and better schools + better police make crime unattractive.
