- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoBecause in order for freedom of speech you also need freedom for people to say dumb and abhorrent things. There are some clear bad things like hate speech, and Grey things like Covid conspiracies, maybe they should be banned, but removal of w11 bypasses sends a clear message that google is the lapdog for other big businesses.
- throwaway290 1y agoexactly. and it is why total freedom of speech on a platform does not mean we can trust it. maybe even the opposite because people who tell a lie are more motivated (money or whatever) I am not justifying w11 video removal I'm just saying thinking youtube trustworthy because it's open to everybody is a mistake
- oddmiral 1y agoLies and other harmful speech are against freedom of speech.
- throwaway290 1y agoThat's an interesting way of looking at things. Now we just need to have some sort of arbiter who decides what is harmful and what is true eh?
- oddmiral 1y agoWhy not just a quick duel?
