Watch how fast every comment section and social media site devolves into a 4 chan lookalike if you stop all censoring.
- the_third_wave 5y agoNot really, the commercial 'net had been humming along without overly blatant censorship on ideological grounds for about 15 years before this became an issue. Forums and social media platforms can be moderated without taking an ideological stance by making sure the moderators are as ideologically diverse as the potential user base.
- jjeaff 5y agoI think you need to give your definition of moderation vs censorship. To me, they are synonyms.
- the_third_wave 5y agoModeration keeps the discussion within legal bounds, censorship keeps it within ideological bounds. Moderation is what section 230 should have been, censorship is how it ended up.
