Yea... Meta took the same "free peaches" approach and the entire fucking globe is now dealing with various versions of white nationalism. So like, can we actually give censorship of hate a fucking try for once? I'm willing to go down that road.
Never ever fall for that one. You can look at various regimes in the world what happens when "hate" gets censored. Demonitizing is one thing, technical implementations to "live censor hate" would be catastrophic.
I'm looking. Is something supposed to stand out about Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, and the UK?
There is real time censorship present anywhere in europe? Nowhere near. We have "you have to act within certain time" laws when content gets flaged, that's all. You could argue forcing DNS resolvers to block certain domains is censorhip though. Look at China. Talk bad about politics in your private chats with your mates, i'm sure your censorship dream will do you and your family well! Heck even talking about Winnie poh is "hate" or was this not true?
Again, demonitize them as you want. But censorship just leads to the groups isolating more and more from the world.
Just look at the beliefs of people witch a member of cults (or religions if you want) - thousands of people which are explicitly denied via rules to gather knowledge in the internet (looking at you Mormons). I'd like to call that psychological censorship - it aims for the same goal in a way but I get way to off topic
Actually, yes. In the UK people (including Jewish people) are being arrested and jailed for speaking out against Israeli naziism and genocide as inciting "hate."
That example is literally EXACTLY why people, myself included, believe that the censoring of certain types of speech needs to remain exclusively a private enterprise.
That's an interesting point. On one hand Israel is the way it is because right wing nationalism has been normalized through open and free speech in the US. But Israel is also where it is because of the conflation of the meaning of antisemitism shutting down anyone challenging it. Though, I am seeing that conflation being properly challenged more so now than ever before but it's obviously not fast enough. It's probably time to implement looking more at collective actions more than words within governmental policy writing. As in mass killings = bad. I wish humans didn't suck.
Your username is disgusting.
Do you not know who Dick Tracy is?
I like to accuse people of blocking me because I don’t understand how Lemmy works.
I wanted to be a mall cop but after failing both the physical and psychological screening I decided to tell other people how they should use social media.
It’s all about making the world a better place, you know?
That is a very apt description of social media.
But with like moldy jizz stained rags that came from a demon's pussy fart. See how quirky I am??
Meh, it’s kind of derivative to be honest.
You can do better.
Do you have a Meta or Substack stamp on your passport?
