Reading your comments is Nazis Nazis Nazis. I think you need some help.
Alright snowflake
Let the hate flow through you.
Freedom goes both ways. I hate nazis, but it's better to have their bullshit out in the open to be criticized, than have them group up on shady underground places that would only make it worse.
The opposite is "the illusion of safety because of moderated platforms". One might think a platform that removes fake news would only have real news, but that's obviously not the case and creates an even worse landscape.
You're doing the same as what others are trying to do to any open platform. You're claiming that me trying to defend absolute freedom of speech is the same as me asking why we don't hear them out. And as long as you believe that is the same, I'd rather not waste time discussing this.
Absolute freedom of speech goes both ways, indefinitely. If a platform is too heavily moderated and hides stuff like this, not only does it create the illusion that it does not exist, it also sets a precedent for abuse by the platform owners. The biggest example at the moment is how Musk uses X to suppress arguments that don't fit his narrative.
Filter bubbles are a very new concept and are much worse than coming across people spreading hatred and being able to tell them to suck it.
No, I said it's the biggest example.
I agree with you but so few people think so today. They think censorship is the answer because if they don't see it, they feel better and can forget it exists.
Fuck no.
