Why should the government be the one to make that decision? If anyone has a conflict of interest, it's them, no?
- hungie 2y agoI mean, Germany bans nazi imagery in media. Many countries ban false advertising. A number consider it not ok to discriminate against people based on their characteristics. Fringe health statements are often disallowed. TikTok just got hit with a speech case about a girl hanging herself to death because of a video. Government moderates speech all the time, and yes, there's obviously grey areas and opportunities for abuse with those systems. I want to see the examples. Not someone grinding an axe with "the opposition"... show me what was not allowed.
- robertlagrant 2y agoFalse advertising (and libel/slander) are about not saying probably false things in contexts where truth is required. They're a bit different to people being allowed to have an opinion and say it without a tech giant (then) or judge (now) stopping them. As for banning images - sure. Tricky. Don't particularly like nazi symbols, but I personally wouldn't ban them. They aren't magically evil symbols that trigger awful behaviour.

- Georgelemental 2y agoYou are not forced to use his platform if you don’t like it.
- meiraleal 2y agoYes and I don't use it but he is forced to respond to court orders :)
- Georgelemental 2y agoYes he is, just like Sophie Scholl. Power-mad tyrants tend to do that to people :)
