==And before you say it, "muh private platform" is not an acceptable argument. This is dangerous to our society.==
More than one thing can be dangerous to our society, like if these platforms were used to spread falsehoods and misinformation unchecked.
- throwaways885 6y agoI don't consider that dangerous to me.
- krapp 6y agoYou're not society, though, are you?
- throwaways885 6y agoI'm part of an individualist culture which sees things through the lens of individuals, not collective society. Now I care about society and make individual effort to care & contribute towards it, but I wouldn't attempt to view things through a collectivist lens when considering the policy decisions of giant corporations.
- notherthrowaway 6y agoI’m not sure I follow. Can you provide examples of policy decisions that are individual and not collective? Also, what “culture” are you referring to?
- throwaways885 6y agoIn a nutshell, individual freedoms (freedom of speech) trump collective safety (censoring misinformation). The answer is more information, like fact check panels.
- notherthrowaway 6y agoTake a look at the national defense budget or each city’s police budget if you think collective safety is below individual freedoms. We clearly put more resources towards collective safety than individual freedoms.
