>4chan gets away with hate speech every hour of the day.
Just because you hate the speech doens't make it hatespeech.
>He can't rely on the law, because people are free to say all kinds of awful things without breaking the law
When did things change from technocrats advocating for freedom of speech and expersion to being worried about someone tweeting mean words?
Growing up I always heard: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.". Now I hear about deplatforming anything and everything that doesn't support status quo.
- mwattsun 4y agoIn general, I agree with you, but I'm referring to speech in the context of a social network. 4chan is a niche community because it is too rough for most people. Unless Musk wants to turn Twitter into 4chan, he's going to have to get real about moderation and like I said, even 4chan is moderated.
- nextlevelwizard 4y ago>even 4chan is moderated. I really don't think this is as good of an argument as you think it is. Yes, 4chan is moderated to remove illegal content. Then of course there are topic boards and SFW boards which are moderated to keep off-topic and NSFW threads at bay, but then there is always /b/ where everything goes.
