Yeah, it’s an issue. I’m all for the first amendment but something is broken here and there needs to be accountability
What needs to be done is for Google, Facebook, Twitter and the rest of the Surveillance Media to be declared content publishers and subject to libel laws.
Yeah that doesn't work at all. You actually thing Nosebook and Tweeter sit there and peruse everything anybody wants to post and puts their stamp of approval on it? That's utterly insane. No, they're not "publishers" any more than this site is, as Slade pointed out.
If you want to go after the actual posters of said libel, that's perfectly fine, by all means, but it has no application here.
As for what "libel" is I've got I forgot how many challenges lying on the field for any evidence of this "libel" committed by "the media" that's going to land them in "court" for "seven figures". I have yet to get a single response to them. Which basically means those fantasizing of "libel" have no clue how to "read".
So what you are saying is that Surveillance Media is Too Big To Succeed, so we should just accept their damaging impact upon people while they monetize our behavior without our consent or knowledge.
No thank you. I'll pass.
I'll pass too, I already did when I refused to have anything to do with that narcissistic shit.
But no, what I'm saying is don't sit there and pretend the Nosebooks are the "publisher". Publishers vet their content before they put their name on a book. Post 267 for an example is not "published" by USMB. It's posted by a specific person. If you want to go after that post you go after Picaro -- not the site.
Ain't rocket surgery.
Scuze moi, but the Surveillance Media have data scientists, algorithms and AI for analyzing all of this content. The only issue is them actually spending money to control content and then forgoing the profits that the monetization of the deleted toxic behavior would have generated.
USMB has mods that delete comments from users who cross the line. We do not see the Doxxing and calls to punch teenager in the face or to get them expelled from school here. The Mega Platforms enable and allow this hideous, illegal behavior...and actually PROFIT from it.
The Surveillance Media are not Too Big To Be Accountable.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you didn't address the point at all.
That being, *HOW* is a medium responsible for what someone writes on it? If Picaro spray-paints "Injuns go home" on a wall ---- shall we blame the wall? For "not being accountable"?
