It's worth pointing out the offensive content cited in the document:
* “Fry’em up. The whole fkn crew. #pelosi #aoc #thesquad #soros #gates #chuckschumer #hrc #obama #adamschiff #blm #antifa we are coming for you and you will know it.”
* “#JackDorsey ... you will die a bloody death alongside Mark Suckerturd [Zuckerberg].... It has been decided and plans are being put in place. Remember the photographs inside your home while you slept? Yes, that close. You will die a sudden death!”
* “We are going to fight in a civil War on Jan.20th, Form MILITIAS now and acquire targets.”
* “On January 20th we need to start systematicly [sic] assassinating [sic] #liberal leaders, liberal activists, #blm leaders and supporters, members of the #nba #nfl #mlb #nhl #mainstreammedia anchors and correspondents and #antifa. I already have a news worthy event planned.”
* “Shoot the police that protect these shitbag senators right in the head then make the senator grovel a bit before capping they ass.”
* “After the firing squads are done with the politicians the teachers are next.”
* “Death to @zuckerberg @realjeffbezos @jackdorsey @pichai.”
* “White people need to ignite their racial identity and rain down suffering and death
like a hurricane upon zionists.”
* “Put a target on these motherless trash [Antifa] they aren’t human taking one out
would be like stepping on a roach no different.”
* “We need to act like our forefathers did Kill [Black and Jewish people] all Leave
no victims or survivors.”
* “We are coming with our list we know where you live we know who you are and
we are coming for you and it starts on the 6th civil war... Lol if you will think it’s
a joke... Enjoy your last few days you have.”
* “This bitch [Stacey Abrams] will be good target practice for our beginners.”
* “This cu* [United States Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao] should be...
hung for betraying their country.”
* “Hang this mofo [Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger] today.”
* “HANG THAt N*** ASAP”
It's indefensible.
- LatteLazy 6y agoWait, what did the NBA and NHL do?
- orwin 6y agoThey support racial equity, a lot of NBA and NFL player (don't know about NHL) supported their communities during Covid + BLM and paid bail/lawyer money in some states so people get their right to vote back. NBA stars were particularly active during the first lockdown.
- LatteLazy 6y agoThank, I guess I missed that (aside from Kaepernick)
- dgellow 6y agoFor sure, that's horrible. But the hot question is: is Amazon the entity who should decide to shut it down? I would personally prefer to have that decision be taken by a governmental agency or anything else managed by an elected person. Now, I'm not a US citizen, and I have zero trust in the current US administration, but in a "normal" context I would want to have at least some governmental overview of the shutdown process instead of delegating the full power to a private corporation. Edit: In a "Trump" context, I really don't know... Really sad to see this country dying slowly.
- jfengel 6y agoHere's another hot question: if it were your computer, would you like a government agency telling you if you should leave it up or take it down?
- dgellow 6y agoNot sure how that's relevant to the discussion.
- jfengel 6y agoThe content is hosted on a computer owned by a corporation, not the government. Many people interpret this as their decision to make, rather than the government's. If you don't believe so, you'll have to describe the ways in which their rights to their computers differ from yours.
- dgellow 6y agoSee my response here, I believe that's also relevant to your question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25764333 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25764333
- coffeeboy27 6y agoIn short, Amazon is not a public utility. Maybe it could be in the future but it isn't right now. AWS is a private business which rents out a server under very clearly laid out TOS to follow. In addition to this, AWS has gone out of their way for weeks (if not months) to work with Parler on their moderation issue that violates the contract. Parler has shown no intent to work within the boundaries of AWS TOS. Instead of putting in the work of finding and migrating to other hosting solutions (of which there are many) they used stall tactics. When stalling no longer worked, they brought a junk lawsuit against AWS.
- hnburnsy 6y agoWhat is indefensible, letting users post this garbage, letting it linger too long, or not removing it?
- neilsense 6y agoI can find thousands of the same thing on Twitter from right and left people. When does Twitter get cancelled.
