- dumbfoundded 6y agoI believe all people calling for any sort of violence on social media should be deplatformed.
- Domenic_S 6y agoThat teaches them nothing and gives them a martyr complex. Put them in $social_network jail for some length of time and teach them what is and isn't allowed.
- dumbfoundded 6y agoAs long as we agree the correct response isn't inaction.
- MrRiddle 6y agoExactly, there definitely shouldn't be inaction. However, after BLM protests I've seen action only towards one side, which is exactly what led us here in the first place.
- BitwiseFool 6y agoI can understand this point of view, but will the same standard be applied to anyone who advocates punching Nazis?
- dumbfoundded 6y agoThat's up for private companies to determine as they risk finding a balance between alienating their own users either by inaction or too much action. As for free speech in public spaces as restricted by the government, the standard comes down to imminent risk of harm. You're not allowed to scream "Fire!" in a public building if there's no fire. Private companies like Twitter and Facebook appear to try to hold themselves to a public standard but private companies are allow any standard they please. If you're in a movie theater and start yelling throughout the movie, the theater isn't restricting your free speech by kicking you out.
