How many violent attacks have resulted from activity on Facebook?
- woofcat 6y agoYeah, and 4Chan has about half a dozen mass killings to their name.
- joe_the_user 6y agoViolent attacks on seats of government do tend to get attention and extra sanctions, I think we can admit that.
- kart23 6y agohttps://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.
- shuckles 6y agoSeems like Facebook should play a bigger role in preventing that than it does.
- megous 6y agoProbably 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.
- easterncalculus 6y agoI think the argument being made here is that Parler doesn't care as much as Facebook about bad things happening.
- samatman 6y agoOr uh, ahem, y'know, Twitter. How quickly we forget the Arab Spring.
