you got it bud
@ππππππ πππππππ Soviet reunion,how did you infiltrate?
You really think I'm 15 lol
would there be a day when people actually stick to the qotd in this chat?
Yes when they ban the liberals
And trolls
troll confirmed
@WAR so you dismiss what we say and call us liberals
let's go back to the question,shall we?
so if we pass a law enforcing the first ammendment on social media it might not be so important to snowball into a more authoritarian US government
I mean,remember the PATRIOT act?
That assumes authoritarianism is bad
authoritarianism isn't inherently good or bad, it depends on what it sets out to accomplish and what its results are
well
I like to use the PRC as an example of when a politician gets way too much power
the communist party basically owns all the other parties and the politicians in it
Xi Jinping basically makes himself stay in office until he retires
and nothing can overthrow him
βNothingβ
Hmm

hi
so what debate do we have going on here
whether we should regulate social media to ensure free speech or not
A internet bill of rights essentially?
and now seems like whether authoritarianism is bad or not
pretty much,yeah
Yeah we really should
have a internet bill of rights
and as big oof it does depend on what authoritarianism is
The term isn't inherently good or bad
I'd just limit it to enforce the first ammendment on social media
I don't think it'd give more power to the government to get into private companies' business than the PATRIOT act already does
I agree with you
free speech is important no matter how radical the ideas are
in fact hate speech will only worsen the situation by outlawing thoughts
as this means they don't need to be contested with and they only attract sympathizers who will actually listen to them and get radicalized themselves without opposition
π
so that's my thoughts on it
from a Communist lol
I mean, I feel like the communistic way to approach it would be to simply nationalize social networking sites and place them directly under the oversight of government
