so, yet again, the censors were wrong. I've said it before, if you're going to censor you better be right 100% of the time. The moment you get it wrong all credibility and benefit-of-the-doubt is gone and now you must censor by authority and not out of good will.
The first case i recall is the lab leak theory censoring and now the laptop thing. The platforms should stop censoring except for content defined as prohibited by law.
- throwaway82652 5y ago>content defined as prohibited by law They weren't wrong, deleting illegal content is exactly what they were doing. Revenge porn is illegal in almost all US states.
- Jtype 5y agoThey were wrong about a crapload of things. They completely censored the Biden Laptop story and called it Russian propaganda. Twitter and facebook banned accounts that posted links to the story, for example. Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't mean it isn't true.
- throwaway82652 5y agoNo, again they weren't wrong. Where did I say I don't believe something? My statement was that these sites don't want to host links to illegal revenge porn. They were absolutely not wrong to delete that, and I bet you would feel the same way if it was revenge porn of you or your loved ones that was being shared so indiscriminately. We're here talking about the story, and I've probably heard about this story thousands of times in the last year, so any statement about it being censored is complete nonsense. Please avoid this type of rhetoric.
