That's better imo, but creates a new problem.
As we can see anywhere and everywhere, moderation teams have to use their power, even when nothing is in violation of the rules. They'll start policing more content, and pretty soon they'll be arresting people.
- NickC25 9mo agoYoutube content moderators can arrest people?
- sejje 9mo agoWe were talking about the state policing content in China. So the "YouTube content moderators" you mention would be government actors. Like they have in the UK--police arresting people for content. The police don't work for Facebook, I'm sure you realize.
- NickC25 9mo agoNo, in China, the people running the platforms know what is acceptable and what's not. So, once the government tells them what's cool and what's not, the companies then police themselves. Because unlike the US, where there are effectively no real consequences for companies that skirt the law, in China, the companies wouldn't dare try to skirt the law - executives in China know they can't bribe their way out of deliberately pissing off The Party when it comes to education.
