that’s an interesting take on the question of free speech and what companies should or should not do.
when something isn’t strictly hate speech, but still could be considered incitement, or the spreading of propaganda: what should be done? ( fwiw, the republican candidate makes statements which could be considered incitement: do we want to censor or ban groups which support him? )
the free speech perspective tends to be that the cure is more speech. there does seem a perspective growing since 2001 that curtailing speech is best.
i’m sure i’m not expert enough to know which is right when, and what the exact lines are.
i know i like to believe in the former rather than the latter. and, i know i’d be worried if big-data algorithms were made responsible for censorship as the article suggests. ( re: things like “weapons of math destruction.” )
