It seems to be that these platforms were quite outrageously accepting any content at all being published on their platforms, including direct personal threats and incitements to violence.
If these groups want to not be deplatformed every few years, they ought to moderate the content. That seems to be all Apple is asking for here - just moderate out the illegal content and you can come back.
That only seems hard to do for conservative groups - everyone else seems to at least try to moderate, even if they do it unevenly or not quickly enough, they try. These deplatformed companies and actors don't ever seem to even try to moderate.
I don't feel bad for them, personally.
- ghgdynb1 6y agoI understand your sentiment, but the thing to realize is that the point you’re responding to is about decentralization and whether this will be an accelerant for the transition to a more distributed tech ecosystem. It’s not about how anyone feels about the parties involved in any particular case.
- cryptoz 6y agoI don't agree that there is the feedback loop that exists in the OP's post. Deplatforming is not some inescapable negative feedback loop that these people can't get out of. It is the result of criminal behavior. If the criminal behavior stops, the deplatforming stops. We already have processes in our society to reduce and hopefully eliminate criminal actors.
