Gunn LOST his job
and a side note, insider roumers was that it was not the alt right that did presure Gunns firening. it was the #metoo movment that did scare the shit out of the ceo of disney now that the tweets was back in daylight
they did fire him before the #metoo was able to move in hope to save MCU face
Oh, Gunn got fired?
Yeah, he got fired by Disney over the tweets
Didn't you read the news?
It was all over the internet for weeks and weeks
Also, Gunn was a contracted employee of Disney, so he's also representing them. No one brings that up
That's why the hashtag is "RehireJamesGunn"
they are never gona rehire him as long as #metoo is around. they are to afraid of them attacking them and making a mess of the last cash cow disney have left
Also, in relation to Alex Jones and the whole "c'mon, prove he inspired people to do violence thing"...I don't even have to bring up Pizzagate. What about Finsbury Park?
That was on 4chan long before Alex Jones
And I remind you this...is the WASHINGTON TIMES. They're not known for being liberal. At all.
Also, social media platforms are not publishers, so they shouldn't act like ones.

But they do have an obligation to make sure that people aren't ABUSING said platforms because rampant abuse makes it harder on everyone
well as facebook did start editing like a publisher they are resposible for ALL content on facebook
Facebook are cowards.
I've always thought so.
@SaintHeartwing No, see, PUBLISHERS are obligated to curate their clients content.
Because they are liable
why do you all use social media? i've been unplugged for like, 4 years. Never been happier.
Thats why i came in here last week asking questions
Why? Simple. Baltimore.
While the MSM was preoccupied with 'Nerd Prom', REAL news was unfolding on Twitter, with people actually talking, filming and showing what was happening.
This is why social media exists. To help bring to light stuff ignored by "normal" media outlets
with the baning of alex jones they did open pandoras box on all the sights. if someone makes a vid promoting terrorisem, with the new rules youtube have a part of the blame if something happens. it was not like that before the banning
Or rather, it's a useful tool to FORCE them to pay attention
Isn't still super easy to fall into an echochamber though?
@SaintHeartwing Once you start acting like you are liable for your users content, the laws governing publishers should be brought into play, which removes a lot of the protections they currently enjoy
You ARE somewhat liable for the content because you make the rules that determine what is and isn't allowed
@SaintHeartwing That's not what liability is
Do you not get that not having standards is cowardice?
they did break the safe harbor deal
You can't just say "everyone should be free to say whatever". Because that is a dumb f--kin' idea.
The Marketplace of Ideas only works in PRACTICE. Not theory.
If it DID work in practice, then we wouldn't have the idiots we have in charge.
@SaintHeartwing That's the argument social media companies already used years ago to get where they are
