The platforms “are all facing this problem where the right wing has been on them repeatedly about content moderation and how they [shouldn’t] control any content,” said a lobbyist for Meta, who was granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak for the company. “And now the tables are turned in some fashion, and people are all over them, saying you can’t allow this kind of content and that kind of content.”

Wasn’t their entire thing that we needed free speech and shouldn’t let big tech be in charge of that?
Oh that only applies when people say things they want to hear? Got it.
As far as I’ve ever been paying attention, conservatives only argue in bad faith. It’s always been about elevating their own speech and suppressing speech that counters theirs. They just couch it in terms that sound vaguely reasonable or logical in the moment if you don’t know their history and don’t think about it more deeply than very surface-level.
Before, platforms were suppressing their speech, so they were promoters of free speech. Now platforms are not suppressing speech counter to them, so it’s all about content moderation to protect the children, or whatever. But their policies always belie their true motive: they never implement what research shows supports their claimed position of the moment. They always create policies that hurt their out-groups and may sometimes help their in-groups (helping people is optional).
Right wing, you can’t control or censor social media.
Right wing, you need to control and censor media
You mean Nazis, that’s how the Nazis operate. Don’t ever sugar coat it.
Schrodinger’s internet.
These nazis are desperate to share Kirk’s fate.
Imagine what would happen if it happened again to another nazi in the near future. They would have no idea who to talk about or what to say.
Of course they would. Hitler himself could appear and do the deed and those mouth breathers would still be like “the left did it!” Hell they’d probably think Hitler was a liberal.
Hopefully the idiots who run these tech companies will learn their lesson soon.
“If the thing is free, you’re the product” applies just as much to dinners at the White House as it does to social media apps.
You might have misunderstood what the idiots who run these tech companies want.
Their goal is to make money, preferrably now more than tomorrow. So if licking some boots now will make them money, they will gladly do so.
Do you really think Zuckerberg has an actual stance on content moderation? He doesn’t like it because it costs money, but if it costs him more money to not do it, he will gladly do it.
There is no lession to be learned by those parasites.
and placating right wing Users which the shooter was on SOCIAL media, isnt going to help them.
Fuck Charlie Kirk, I hope hell is real so he can burn in it.
Is that a surprise? Don’t we know enough that when they talk about freedom of speech, they mean they should be allowed to insult and incite violence against minorities, but critics against them should not be allowed?
What about 🥶 🍑
I never knew who this prick(kirk) was until he got shot in the neck and died instantly after a disgusting defense of gun rights. I’m glad I know who he WAS now. It’s soothes me when I think about his final words
im not surprised it was CONservative on conservative violence. someone more puritanically conservative kirk killed him.
To me, it’s kind of disappointing that its just another basic bitch right wing turd. I don’t care about image, I just care about brave people acting like chemo therapy and taking out tumors
