Would you support blocking BLM and black supremacist propaganda too? Essentially you are just proposing traditional government censorship. The good thing about Soviet TV is that it had only wholesome content - not that western capitalist stuff.

BLM content does not promote hate the way white nationalist content does and I'm immediately suspicious of your motives with you trying to make that equivalence. BLM is about justice and equality under the law. White supremacy is decidedly not, like, it's in the name. That's the supremacy part.

As for black supremacist content, yeah nix that shit too. It's corrosive for the exact same reasons. Was this supposed to be a hard question?

They aren't proposing blocking content. If a business-controlled algorithm recommends something, the company should be responsible for what it pushes because amplification falls outside what Section 230 protects. Hosting is protected. Deliberate, profit-driven curation is not.
