Ok, let's take the example of the video of someone being beheaded, who from the "local community" should do the moderation in that case? The ones doing the beheading, or the ones in danger of being beheaded?
- pizzafeelsright 3y agoI personally would want to know who in my local community is doing the beheading, who is supporting it, and what the reason is for the beheading. I am against moderation in the online world. We need to bring it all into the light and be transparent. Perhaps we just have "flag and make this post blurry" button on the post and keep the content as a compromise. edited: rewording

- gxt 3y agoDon't shield people of the horrors caused by mad men, for they will be their next victims.
- mypastself 3y agoShouldn’t the people decide what constitutes shielding and sheltering by themselves?
- notahacker 3y agoI'm pretty sure my chances of being beheaded don't vary with how many ISIS videos some troll adds to my Facebook feed

- pizzafeelsright 3y agoQ: It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.
- mypastself 3y agoShould timid people refrain from using the internet altogether?
- pizzafeelsright 3y agoAbsolutely. Public speaking, conversations with strangers, and exposure to unfiltered communication are generally avoided by the timid.
- mypastself 3y agoMy question was about what you think should happen, not what generally tends to happen. Do you think people who prefer not to view explicit photos or footage of immolations, beheadings, or child abuse should refrain from any form of online communication?
- pizzafeelsright 3y agoAt a young age having seen all the above and worse, both in person and online - yes, the Internet (and world) is a corrupted place. There is darkness and light all around. I recently explained to my child that there are things in this world we cannot forget and that is why we must be careful what we listen to, what we watch, and what we seek. The idea of stopping any of the above is impossible yet I can change where my attention is focused.
- MysteryChessBox 3y agoOk, but say someone posted explicit child pornography on your wondrous social network. What now?
- singleshot_ 3y agoI could imagine a pretty simple social network where, if someone posted a beheading video, many people would report it as being objectionable. If enough of the people I connected as friends reported the video (or, perhaps, enough of the ones whom I marked as trustworthy) then I would never see it. Instead the way the social network is designed is that some freak who is a friend of a friend posts a video of a person's head being chopped off and a guy in Kenya has to delete it, because everything about the internet is profoundly insane.
- polski-g 3y agoI could imagine a pretty simple social network where, if someone posted a gay marriage video, many people would report it as being objectionable. If enough of the people I connected as friends reported the video (or, perhaps, enough of the ones whom I marked as trustworthy) then I would never see it.
- singleshot_ 3y agoRight. If I’m friends with a bunch of bigots and I delegate my moderation function to them, I would expect the system to work as you described. This is community moderation. Or are you suggesting that an optimal social network should jam both gay marriage and beheading videos down my throat? I’m honestly curious what you’re getting at here. Would you mind making a much more substantive post?
