I suspect they could even have the hate speech against protected classes. Voat survived. 4chan survives. Numerous hateful websites survive. The KKK has websites. Parler was no better a week ago. These sites all get eliminated when they are tied to a violent attack.

How many violent attacks have resulted from activity on Facebook?
- woofcat 6y ago
  Yeah, and 4Chan has about half a dozen mass killings to their name.

  Violent attacks on seats of government do tend to get attention and extra sanctions, I think we can admit that.

  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46105934 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46105934 There have been tons of instances of mob killings incited on Facebook in other countries.

    Seems like Facebook should play a bigger role in preventing that than it does.

  Probably many. Especially in countries where organized lynching is still a thing. You can certainly find reports of people proudly sharing the videos of doing the lynching on social media. So I don't see why it wouldn't be organized via social media too.

  I think the argument being made here is that Parler doesn't care as much as Facebook about bad things happening.

  Or uh, ahem, y'know, Twitter. How quickly we forget the Arab Spring.

Agreed. The bottom line is very clear: do not (directly) cause violent attack. The society is already bearing with them, they may even be able to indirectly cause violent attacks. You can't expect everyone to love everyone. But violence is the red line.

  How do you link (legally) hate speech (protected by constitution) -> “direct” violence -> individuals -> charges? Haven’t seen evidence of that in any of these cases, by companies, MSM, legal parties, or honest people—- especially when looking at riots earlier in the year.

Voat didn't survive. 4chan is born again compared to its beginnings.
pcmoney 6y ago
Yes hopefully this is people trying to do the “right” thing in the face of a tragedy (whether you think it is the right thing or not) However, even from a cynical pragmatist view the attack causes previously high engagement “viral” content that stirred controversy/discussion and most importantly ad views/clicks into something that advertisers will most likely refuse to allow their ads to be displayed alongside. It essentially shifted from financial asset to liability and so the companies dumped it...
