Not if the Left actually builds arguments and movements to change minds and and wins political power. But instead many spend their time begging the rich white men at Facebook and Twitter to decide which political speech deserves to be hidde

That "40 to 50%" trans statistic is incredibly worrying. Can you share where it's from so I can reference it in the future when these discussions come up?

Let's trust the billionaire execs at Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter to listen to the correct academics rather than responding to the incentives of capital. When faced with calls to ban pro-Palestinian rights activism on their pla

Why shouldn't a government be able to decide what content it wants to host in its nation? Not a facetious question, I am curious to understand your reasoning (assuming you agree)

A private company shouldn't get to pick and choose what opinions are valid. YouTube is not an arbiter of truth, and there is no universal law that says YouTube's moderators will always be correct. As a massive corporation, when th

People never say what they mean. Just say: I am comfortable with Big Tech having the right to pick and choose which opinions are valid and I don't think it will backfire in any way that upholds the exploitation of the oppressed. Or one

Hope nobody against abortion is at the wheel in this scenario. Censorship is a shortcut to avoid doing the real work of de-radicalizing people and convincing the undecided. It's not even a working shortcut. For every issue liberals foc

Facebook can do things to reduce dynamics that they know are harmful to children, just like they remove (some) content that is clearly harmful to children but not illegal. They just don't, which is their choice.

Children don't have the agency/brain development to take care of themselves in the presence of societal and peer pressure. This is the basis of many, many laws, social mores, and taboos.

Young girls lack agency, that's been the general consensus of the human race for a very long time save for the extreme right wing and some relatively new corners of the left. Always good to examine the structural inequality that Instag
