that exception is the only thing that makes the internet businesss model work

they clearly think they are liable for their content because they edit it and curate it

Then just make your account to push people to your website where it can be spoken about.

Easy.

but they dont want to be legally bound by that cuz they want their cake and to eat it too

And now look at that, you're expanding your website.

Remove their exemption, see them curate everything so excessively trying not be taken to court for what people write and say, then see how they go into a death spiral.

otherwise evrery single person you host would have to be carefully vetted

@Weez but there aren't better places to go as there aren't as many people, and as many different political people on these alternative platforms

Getting removed isn't the end of the world.

Make another account.

Zakhan gets it

Who gives a shit?

Push people to your platform.

they won't GIVE free services anymore

@ManAnimal the exemption will still be available to sites that dont curate

If people like it, then they'll stay and use it.

negative

Then it'll grow.

the law doesn't work that way

@Weez it's never that simple though

But it is.

Remove the exemption from Facebook and other non-free platforms breaching the terms of that exemption. Then see how the sites that follow the terms get more traffic, when the big sites start over-curating.

its not about completely removing it. its about examining whether or not it should apply to facebook, google and twitter @ManAnimal

That's the SIMPLEST form of advertisement..

@Weez Many moderates and other poltically less involved people see no need to move over to other social media platforms

a rule either applies to everyone pre-emptively or no one; the rules don't change based on a single criteria

to reach those people, you need to use mainstream platforms

And you still can be.

Gab will have more competitive power, when people are allowed to post anything on it and they don't get sued. If they truly are a free platform.

People do move around..

And making alternative platforms mainstream requires a lot of work that many people can't do

People do look at other websites.

Yet it's done already. @stathelle

If you don't have a free platform, you won't get that nice exemption that covers your ass.

@Weez like what?

Gab.

4Chan.

Voat.

Gab isn't nearly mainstream
