Facebook has allowed too many vulnerable people to be silenced and smeared far too many critics to be allowed to hide behind the banner of “free speech” ever again.
I’m pretty sure the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar would’ve liked their free-speech rights to be respected. nytimes.com/2018/10/15/tec…
Facebook doesn’t seem to be too concerned with the free speech of my own anti-disinformation site, since they’ve limited our visibility as “clickbait.” But it’s not just us!
How about that pivot to video scam? Does @Facebook feel that putting thousands of journalists out of work thanks to their lies is in support of the First Amendment? wired.com/story/facebook…
Is using data stolen from users to fuck free and fair elections all over the world in support of free speech as well?
Hey so if you all had listened to me back in January and February 2021, this wouldn't have happened. But all the "very serious journalists" decided that they knew better
But that's all right, because those same "very serious journalists" have declared that the problem of "misinformation" isn't as big a deal as everybody thought!
Or maybe they're just bad at their jobs in a time of unprecedented crisis and lack the chops to understand what they're failing to prevent -- a dire security flaw during a protracted, ongoing disinformation attack. But what do they care, right? They're fine.
Oh good we get to have this fucking conversation all over again like we do every fucking year and yet no one seems to think that there might be disinformation working on people in disinfo spaces
I can already tell that I'm about to have one of those days where I either alienate or worry everybody, so I should probably not be online. But holy shit, people, listen to yourselves. We've been having the same conversation for EIGHT years now
I'm not intentionally picking on specific people so I apologize, this stupid "misinfo" bullshit is everywhere and I hate everything. Next, everyone is going to rediscover something called "disinformation" and float the idea of using artificial intelligence to fight it
