Well that's the thing, these apps can ban whoever they want they're not run by the government. The government cannot force them by law but I'm sure they can be very persuasive, especially given how many bootlickers execs there are
- ChocolateGod 1y agoIf these apps have content that is inciting crime (e.g. on both Reddit and Twitch over the last couple weeks I have seen people promoting violence such as killing JK Rowling) then I think the government can force them to act.

- amenhotep 1y agoI don't think it even needs to be that organised; the extremely online right wing love that kind of thing and would probably do it entirely organically.
- lm28469 1y agoAnd since they decide what a crime is... See the recent tweet of trump declaring antifa as a terrorist organization, it's not even an organization to begin with.
- ChocolateGod 1y agoI'm pretty sure trying to convince other people to kill someone is widely already considered a crime, regardless of what who or what the target is.
