We cant argue the problem
Here's my proposal. Very large social media sites and tech firms (say, >40% market share, though precise numbers and triggers are debatable) are required to act as a common carrier and cannot discriminate for any reason that's not explicitly illegal (like the phone companies or mail services).
alternatively, we could create a two-type system. You can act as a publisher and curate or do what you want, but become liable for what you host (within takedown limits). Or you can be a platform and obtain immunity from basically everything that's not expressly illegal.
Right now, you can curate *and* be immune.
Removing the ability to curate from everyone is infeasible, impractical and poorly thought out (you would have difficulty running a personal blog for example and the regulators would have to monitor everything on the internet). Simply making everyone liable just opens up the SPLC to sue everyone they don't like into oblivion and would kill the internet as a whole.
We must argue the solution
You'd need new legislation.
The solution is the free market
Giant mega corps being considered common carriers is the best option imo
teh obvious answer to cortez's figure is that she's including undocumented's in it
the solution is to NOT have big tech companies in control of social media
Fuck off with that invisible hand of the market shit
@Beef Taquitos except the solutions exist
its not invisible, we are there
That's the only people who will ever be in control of social media
They just have to be restricted
@Beef Taquitos actualy, no
@Beef Taquitos decentralised systems are controlled by nobody
How is it a "free" market if its regulated?
I mean.
We regulate murder.
Can't be havin that
We have to reign in those who are in control. No we're not gonna have fucking socialized social media
@Redneo That's not true at all. Someone has to maintain those systems. They "own" it in the sense that they can manipulate them.
That's retarded and wouldn't work
You said "The solution is the free market"
@Beef Taquitos socialised? WHat the heck are you on about?
@Beef Taquitos its not retarded, we have it and it does work
So if no regulation led to issue wouldnt we then need to regulate

@Cody there is no issue. We have social media completly free of censorship. Not even illegal stuff will be censored
>decentralized systems
>Not controlled by corporations
>Somehow this isn't socialist though
I thought you centralize shit in socialist systems
But the reason illegal stuff is censored is good
That's literally how socialism works bro
@Beef Taquitos no, its closer to anarchocapitalist
It mostly pertains to things like child pornography
But decentralized systems is socialist?
The users own the means of communication, it's socialist communication lol
Or is that communist idk anymore
This is just stupid labelling. Does it matter if it's "socialist" or not?
