so you mean social media?

e

yes

they're all different companies owned by corporates, they never guaruantee free speech, it's jst appreciated when they do.

Which is why there is 2 options for them

1. Threaten them with regulation unless they fix their act

2. Nationalize them

@Doctor Anon The social effects are not worth it.

Giant corporations are a larger threat to our freedoms than the fucking goberment

nationalizing social media seems kind of contradictory since the government could censor anything it deems offensive

not to mention several of these media giants have local versions

youtube for example

@Deleted User Nationalization would mean the constitution applies

debil

but it only nationalizes the local version

unless you somehow find away to nationalize youtube in foreign nations

is that even possible?

Youtube would be owned by the government, meaning its rules applies universally

Specifically free speech rules primarly

Set rules, like in ToS could be established to protect free speech for non-u.s users

what about hate speech

Nationalised YouTube

Hm

there is the more reasonable side to censorship and that is to censor downright hurtful material

@Deleted User Hate Speech isnt defined by U.S law

it dosent exist

the only reason why youtube sucks ass at censorship is because the moderators only work on social stuff, the company lets bots choose what is ok and what isn't

"downright hurtful"

is subjective

seperate edgy kids from pshyopaths

that's what the bot is shit at doing

seperating joke videos making fun of politics from fucking ISIS

Youtube has thousands of employees focused on taking down videos

go on

It should be left up to corporations.

There will always be a platform that advocates for free speech.

Just because it is not mainstream however, doesn't undermine it.

That makes free speech niche and thus useless

The advantage of free speech is not to watch porn or produce loli, it is to allow people to know whether those in power are being truthful to them or not.
If you make it so a person speaking truth has to wait for a decade as he gets enough viewership on a small platform, you have already lost in achieving that goal

government treading is more harmful than corp treading

crop treading isn't even treading you can choose to use alternatives
