Why do social media sites have this "responsibility?" Under what authority do you propose compelling them to do so?TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 4:39 pmok with which?
do i think social media sites have a responsibility to regulate their content?
yes
i realize this stance carries with it problems associated with “gray areas”
but, imz/count doesn’t fall into that category
neither does the donald posting flat out lies fit into that category
Free speech does not mean "free from consequences", which seems to be the piece that all these "Free Speech" loons screaming about Facebook/Twitter/YouTube conveniently ignore.pdub wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 4:21 pmRight ( and maybe not as extreme as stormfront ).
There should be sites that I feel should be protected by the 1st no matter what they are saying on said sites -- the person who runs it decides.
If count wants to go there, or sit around his lawn and chat with his fam/friends about things we think are vile, he should always have that right, and it would be against much of what I think this country has to offer over others to try and stop that.
On this site, however, there's a line, and i've warned him so many times.

That's because I don't believe that there is a "substantive alternative" to curbing behavior.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 4:46 pm
it’s just my opinion
we disagree on this mechanism for curbing behavior
you’ve yet to offer anything of substance as an alternative

If a platform owner states in their terms of usage that you cannot use the word 'steak' because their loved one died after choking on a piece of meat and it makes them sad to see the word and you agree to the terms of usage then you deal with the consequences of breaking that agreement. All your "free speech" rights get you is that you couldn't be arrested for violating those terms of usage by using the word 'steak'. But you can still lose your right to utilize the platform, as you know.
Most rants about free speech boil down to the same toddler mentality of "I want to do/say/get whatever I want, whenever I want and you can't do anything about it" that is rotting this country from the core. Most toddlers grow out of this mindset and become adults but some just grow into larger, older toddlers.
I don't think they have a legal responsibility, nor should they, but I do think they risk harming their reputation to the point where users stop using their platforms. I have stopped posting to Facebook. I keep my page up so that my wife can tag me in pics of my kids and my friends can see them but soon enough I will go through the gruesome process of getting that taken apart, too. And I know several others who no longer utilize the platform either.DCHawk1 wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 4:44 pmWhy do social media sites have this "responsibility?"
