So you have no problem with rampant lies that foment violence or harm? B-b-but the public square!!! Okay elon
These companies build algorithms to highlight and spread because they make money by increasing engagement. It’s not just about having the right to speak, it’s that these horrible people and their lies and hate get amplified causing more harm and legitimacy
It is far more complex than public square so you should be able to say anything.
That’s not how public squares work anyway. Yeah you have the right to speak but you don’t have the right to be immune from consequences.
Lastly these social media platforms aren’t a public square; they’re quite literally private squares that allow people in so they can vacuum every goddamn crumb of data to sell.
Valid points. I just don’t care or give those platforms any real thought, or take them seriously at all. Maybe it’s having been so desensitized to online opinions from the early days of of internet chat rooms or something.
With that said, I’m still no fan in general, of speech censorship. I’m not right or left either. And I’ll take my down votes in stride as consequences of being able to share an opinion here.
