In this case they should have demonstrated better security around their place. A person was singled out and PII was published. It was reported and they took down the information only 8 days after the person’s death.
They clearly need more moderators for what they do and the way they play with people’s attention.
- LatteLazy 4y agoThese things always come down to people not being able to define "should". Would it be a good thing if Facebook had more moderation? Probably. Are they morally or legally liable because a bunch of third parties committed a crime off of the platform? No, not at all. You might disagree, but then you have to explain why facebook in particular are liable. Why aren't the actual murderers? Or the people who posted the information? Why aren't the electricity suppliers who enabled people to get online? Why isn't the government and local police? Would it be nice if facebook solved all social problems? Yes, it would be lovely. But it's not actually their job or problem and more than it is your job. Just because they're big and you're (understandably) angry doesn't make them guilty.
- phendrenad2 4y agoExactly. People want a special carve-out for Facebook and don't want to apply the same logic to public places and text apps. The magical "algorithm" is supposedly at blame, simply because there is supposedly an "algorithm" somewhere inside Facebook that sinisterly pulls the strings, whatever string, in order to make money.
