> This is what would happen anywhere else in the world
On every single large social media platform, people praise and applaud the death of individuals and entire races of people, all the time. Yet Facebook, Twitter and related sites aren't blocked in most of the world. What's up with that?
- demarq 2y agoNope. If murder or terrorism happened in France or UK and a social media platform refused to assist the authorities, There. Would. Be. Consequences.
- beart 2y agoYour first post did not indicate discord refused to assist authorities, but that users praised a violent act.
- squigz 2y agoIndeed. GP's original post - ironically prefaced with "Before you make too many assumptions" - implied the reasoning was something entirely unrelated to what it actually was about.
- demarq 2y agoHN rules are that I should assume you read the article.
- squigz 2y agoTechnically there's nothing saying that in the guidelines.
- andriesm 2y agoI suspect it was meant tongue in cheek, I had a good chuckle with it when I read it.
- beart 2y agoI did read the article. I'm just pointing out the likely reason that all these comments seem to be talking past one another. The quote you chose doesn't seem to reinforce the point you are making.
