Got it. Social media sites moderating content is at least as bad as Jim Crow. Truly striking argument, though probably in the opposite way as intended.

- c_crank 3y agoIf you could guarantee the problems are limited to social media moderation, it would be no issue. But the kinds of people who cause bad social media moderation also have their pies in many other kinds of policies, and they want blood. The end result of this would be worse than Jim Crow because it would be applied nationwide.
- ethanbond 3y agoI see... and I guess this argument is meant to be a testimony to one's ability to imagine worlds worse than Jim Crow? There are many possible worlds that are far worse than Jim Crow. Sure. What does that have to do with reality again? Should we be alarmed about people ordering at restaurants given that we can't guarantee they have no intention to eat the entirety of planet Earth?
