and they have the right to ban whoever cuz the platforms are not public domain meaning free speech doesnt apply to them.

there are companies who update their ToS just to ban someone

Its.. also a contractual agreement made between two parties

I.. dont think his banning is the issue here.

lookin at you wizards

The issue is why other offenders are not being banned

because they arent as big as him....

The selective enforcement

and in such a huge spotlight

technically once you get so big, selective enforcement is your only way to go

because you require people to report

Then wouldnt that make the idea that it was a mass flag campaign more valid.

all these platforms are private companies and have the right to kick whoever they want off their platforms.

but people abuse the system

moderating is a clusterfuck

That private company defense ceases to work when they want to be a public utility.

there is no way to not selectively enforce things outside of out right ban anyone just off one report

and then you end up with no users

or so many alts there is no point in moderating

And its most likely not something automated.

doesnt make them a public forum still meaning free speech doesnt apply to them

it can be automated to a point, i.e. enough flags over the course of x time for x reason

Didnt tim say that youtube or facebook was using infowars as a trusted form for news

i don't think any of those companies want to be a public utility

do the ToS even define hate speech? Who is next?

not unless they want to be regulated to hell and back

A big account being deleted needs to be signed off 100% sure

And probably should. Companies also know they make more money enabling this

given the fact recent regulations have already started attacking them where it hurts, their pockets and user data collection, i doubt they would want to be public utilities

No point complaining if they enforced their TOS. Its their right afterall.

facebook's definition of hate speech

is white men still a protected class?

Kinda annoying, I reported a group made to hate on white people. It was a group of students in auckland uni.

Same group managed to get a club removed.

Is Sarah Jeong on Facebook?

"Didnt meet the definitions of hate speech"

Club was for europeans to hang out really.

"Many different groups which have historically faced discrimination in society, including representatives from the Jewish" You think they will ban anti-semetic leftists?

NZ has some foreign students.

They have no issue with maori's or aisans having their own groups, but europeans are a big no no
