False equivalence. Big Tech has always removed content that could imminently incite violence.
- khawkins 6y agoBanning things left and right is inciting more violence than the content itself. They're making a lot of people desperate who were already extremely distrustful of authority. They don't need Steve Bannon to tell them that tech companies are trying to silence their movement, all they need is Hacker News.
- Thorentis 6y agoHow do you determine which speech incites violence? Posts about the BLM movement increased the likelihood of a small minority of people engaging in looting. The majority of protesters did not loot. Just like the majority of Trump supporters did not storm Capitol Hill. If individuals will react to information with violence, that is on them. Big Tech is not the moral or behavioral conscience of the nation.
