It’s also, what functions does Facebook serve beyond organizing violence? Clearly it’s a lot.
You can reasonably discuss banning handguns because they are only used to commit violence. You can’t reasonably discussing the ban of all knives, telling people who ask “how am I supposed to cook?” that they just need to bite their food into little pieces.
- brummm 6y agoIt's probably also rooted in the fact that the owner/CEO of facebook is much richer and better connected.
- compiler-guy 6y agoApple has a long history of willingness to kneecap Facebook. So reluctance to take on Zuck is not likely the reason. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/12/16/tech/facebook-apple-ios-privacy-rules/index.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/12/16/tech...
- ttt0 6y agoAre you implying that Parler was created specifically to organize violence? If that's what you're saying then please provide a clear evidence that proves this is the case. Saying something like that just seems really dishonest in most, if not all, contexts.
- spoonjim 6y agoI can tell you that the content on Parler was, on a percentage basis, far closer to incitement of violence than, say, Reddit. I saw this for myself. I cannot tell you the motivations of the founders since I’m not a mind reader.
- ttt0 6y agoI think that's plausible, but I just have to question the framing that Parler served no other purpose than organizing violence. As an aside, Reddit is pretty tame in general, a more fair comparison would be against Facebook or Twitter.
- spoonjim 6y agoHard for me to say what Facebook “is” because everyone’s is different. Mine has a lot more folk music on it than politics, for example. That’s one of the problems with it, no watchdog group (like the media) can evaluate it objectively and say “this is what it is.”
