YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

Extremist content- or calls to action?

I don't agree in legislating extremist speech unless it is a call to action

Why did you want them to build an echo chamber out of your space?

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't inherently oppose private platforms controlling who is allowed to comment- I oppose the government deciding certain beliefs are too radical to be allowed on any platform.

So? Nobody said the government should get involved here

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly and sites that profit off of hosting extremist content that radicalises terrorists need to be held accountable for their actions.

Implies government led accountability.

Are you saying personal social accountability is not a thing?

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What do you mean by social accountability? But no I never said anything about it, I said it was heavily implied that they're talking about government created accountability.
