I called out a local individual for trying to scam people on the facebook market and got death threats from someone who lives an hour from me who wasn't banned from facebook.
They basically aren't doing anything.
- teddyh 5y agoBut death threats are already illegal. What does your proposal bring? Making it extra illegal? A failure of the police and other authorities to act does not mean that the law is at fault.
- michaelmrose 5y agoI'm talking about enforcement and making social media platforms liable if they don't deal with such situations expeditiously. We don't need such standards per se because neither of us is a lunatic but if I were in this very comment to make threats of horrific violence against you or your family you can be assured that hacker news tiny moderation team would waste little time in removing my ability to post because they give a fuck about the health of this community. Facebook by contrast deals with a fraction of 1% of such issues.
