I disagree. "X" does those things as part of a profit generating enterprise; if those things affect the greater population then they absolutely should be disclosed. And before someone says "What about Meta? What about Google? What about Youtube?" Yep, them too. They should all disclose the basis of their moderation decisions. Because they're used to steer public opinion. Because it's been demonstrated that they have been used to manipulate public perception to the detriment of groups of people. Because people have died from misinformation.
- reaperman 3y agoI find it's important to avoid "is/ought" fallacies. I'm not sure my warning actually applies here -- this seems like a properly complicated legal topic and especially whenever something has a lot of contemporary relevance, there's a lot of unexpected flexibility in which precedents are considered vs. ignored. But it's a good rule of thumb to follow nonetheless.
