Umm, false dichotomy? Blame the medium, blame the idiots - these are not mutually exclusive.
Also, there's a huge gap between supporting censorship and condemning those who amplify harmful messages.
- paskozdilar 4y agoWhy should people posting somewhere be responsible for actions of other people reading their posts?
- praptak 4y agoSame reason you are responsible for shouting "fire" in a crowded theater. Because they know the other people will act on it.
- shitlord 4y agoPeople often use "shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater" as an example alluding to the Schenck case without realizing it was overturned.
- paskozdilar 4y agoErroneous argument - shouting "fire" in a crowded theater has a direct, predictable consequence of people acting on it. Posting stuff on the internet does not.
