Not all views is valid. And nobody should be forced to associate with someone they don't like.
But I don't consider corporations "people". And they should not have the prerogative to choose what views they will amplify.
That is what I meant by non-association can become censorship. A person can't do that. But a large corporation providing a public service can.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoAh, OK - I missed that you were talking about corporations. So can we rephrase this by saying that Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube should be fine with white supremacists and people who argue for pederasty on their platforms? I struggle with this at the extremes.
- tomohelix 4y agoThere are hate speech laws they can follow. That should cover the extremes. And if they don't, then it is the failure of the legislation. Just like how you can't go to walmart and insult everyone you see. It would actually be illegal to retaliate against those people. But call the cops and they can be dealt with. At least with the laws, there is more checks and balances. It isn't perfect, but it is better than giving private entities massive power to control opinions.
