Yes I absolutely would make the same argument. The moment you begin to moderate your medium, you accept responsibility for it. I’m not saying anything in this discussion about whether FB is right or wrong to allow hate material, just that they cannot hide behind “We abhor it but believe we should not censor discussion.”
UPDATE: I have no idea, but I am curious: Can you write porn on FB? Soft-core? Hard-core? As suggested by another respondent, I’m pretty sure you can post a picture of yourself with skinhead tattoos. Can you post a hateful picture? Is this just words vs. pictures? Or is it ideas vs. so-called porn?
- jsaxton86 15y agoSince facebook allows US users under 18 years of age, don't they have a legal obligation not to host porn?
- stonemetal 15y agoThey could host it behind age checks. It seems like it would be easy enough for them to perform automatically.
- potatolicious 15y agoIn fact, Facebook's age-check would be 10,000,000% more effective than every other age-checked page on the internet. coughSteamcough
- nitrogen 15y agoThey could, but then they'd lose a large chunk of users who don't want to be even remotely associated with such a site.
- ysangkok 15y agoI don't think written porn is covered.
