Censorship, as you call it, is a requirement for any platform. It's better to call it moderation. Without it platforms would be 99% spam. I assume you support "censoring" spam so that means you support some level of moderation.
Also, to the extent that a platform is surfacing content based on a friend or follow model, then that itself is intrinsically sufficient moderation for the spam problem (because you can simply unfriend or unfollow spam accounts).
(Spam friend requests and follows still need to be addressed, however.)
Similarly I don't blame FB for failing to block links to the Steele dossier, even though I think it was bogus.
But it wasn’t.
And everyone who looked the videos of Hunter smoking crack, and his text messages discussing Joe Biden involved in business dealings, and his relationship with his 24yo niece knew it wasn’t “Russian Disinformation”.
It was obviously real, and hidden from everyone in order to influence the election.
It was censorship at request of the government and election interference.
We don’t need the WHAT-IF it wasn’t.
Don’t know what to tell ya. If you share breitbart hot takes, expect possible takedown for disinformation.
I think anybody can tell this information wasn’t obtained fraudulently. It is notable though that the same press is currently sitting on hacked documents from Iran from the Trump campaign…
Even for HN, this is an ideologues bridge too far.
You’re not being taken down for the legitimate take. You are being taken down for the other wild assertions, conspiracy theories and lies that you cook up with them.
You people will write like “some stupid n*** shot up a grocery store”
Then you get taken down and whine that “I just made a comment about news that really happened”. And then the real reason it was taken down was the n-bomb you dropped.
The posts you claim are censored are not being censored for the reasons you are claiming.
Wow. Well, I can tell how your mind works. Go ahead and keep all that to yourself, yea?
I’m still waiting for the media to tell me what “I want to fold clothes with you in the bathroom at Whole Foods” meant.
1. Why would a repair shop accept a repair job without the return information?
2. Why would a repair shop start snooping on their own client's machines even if they were unable to contact their client?
3. Why are there multiple disk images, some "raw" and some pre-organized released to different press organizations and Trump sympathizers?
4. Why did the FBI warn Facebook in 2020 about the laptop story to "cover it up" when the FBI at the time was lead by a man appointed by Trump himself?
