How did it take this long for them to remove Proud Boys and QAnon garbage? Is the water finally boiling over? I feel like things hit a critical mass today.

I feel like things hit a critical mass today.
- cowpig 6y agoMy guess is that Facebook has been hedging their bets and now that Democrats have taken control are going to change their policy in an effort to reduce the perceived need for regulation.
- MattPalmer1086 6y agoMaybe, although regulation isn't necessarily bad for Facebook, as it builds a bigger moat for them and makes it harder for smaller organisations to compete. They can afford it.
- jimbob45 6y agoHopefully the same time they remove everything BLM, who were far more violent and caustic this summer. Or, better yet, don’t deplatform either because it’s easier to keep tabs on your enemies when they’re using a compromised platform.
- bt1a 6y agoLet's remove all martial arts groups as well (for inciting violence) while we're at it. Where and how do we draw the line!?
- laumars 6y agoFirstly martial arts groups don’t incite violence. They encourage control and technique between consenting individuals. Which is totally different to breaking into buildings and attacking innocent individuals. Secondly the whole “where do you draw the line?” argument is such a stupid one. Just because you can’t create a rule that is 100% perfect 100% of the time it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bother trying at all. Laws are constantly being changed and evolving through court because people recognise that need.
- olliej 6y agoBLM: protesting the repeated and unpunished murder of PoC by the police, that was immediately met with excessive force in a way known to cause reciprocal violence in the form of riot damage. Vs this: police not using any force until after people violently invaded the literal government because their favorite lost an election, and they want to stop the peaceful transfer of power. The police didn’t use any meaningful force until well after people had called attention to the disparate response. These are clearly equivalent.
- d1zzy 6y ago> Hopefully the same time they remove everything BLM, who were far more violent and caustic this summer. Posts that are asking to violate curfew and go into the streets to protest should be removed at the time these calls would violate said curfew, regardless of the reasoning behind the protest.
