Also apple does disallow porn. And fanhouse also says no porn but every fanhouse creator’s marketing is around suggestive pics. They get around it by calling it “lewd” instead of nude and the app literally has a pay to view picture functionality which some creators use for NSFW stuff. I wonder when Stripe will catch on to this. Basically marketing != what’s happening.
Also i am saddened how the goal posts have moved. Before this it was that people who spew vitriol should be deplatformed but now we are at how this counts as government action?
Also if I was hypothetically a dictator about to do an ethnic cleansing, and post the same thing, would it still be ok? Tbh this isn’t even a hypothetical since Facebook was used in a genocide in Myanmar and did nothing but agreed they fucked up later to 0 accountability.
Every court’s jurisdiction only applies within that country.
What if an American court’s order goes against a European one?
What if Twitter moves to a different jurisdiction which has less oversight and buys out the courts? Not probable. But I wouldn’t want a utility to have so much power. Sorry.
My argument is Twitter is a private company. While private company should be able to control what happens with their platform, they have increasingly reached a size where they are public utilities. I believe an elected government (with its own biases) should decide what goes on a published platform than twitter. Because i have no way of questioning Twitter’s decisions. I can question the government and elect a new one. I can’t elect a new Jack Dorsey.
I am interested in what you think about that, ignoring Trump for a second.
I know HN will focus on the Trump part but I am more interested in hearing about what you think of section 230, safe harbour, social media as publishers.
We shouldn’t expect better business practices from a tech company and hold them accountable? What is the point you are trying to make?
Also the article mentions that even though they had they option to reduce it, they actively chose not to. How is this not something that I shod be critical of?
Why is growth above everything else important? What if they disabled the group discovery part? How is that impossible?
Thanks.
Do you think there will be less competition in the lottery for 2021 because of the economic downturn?
Because I have the option of graduating earlier and make that deadline or graduate normally and apply in 2022.
Thanks. Also how competitive is the lottery nowadays?
