Facebook: Troll Farms Reaching 140 Million Americans a Month

[Machismo]

I'm not talking about what is happening, im talking about what should happen, and that is to censor certain kinds of misinformation.


Although genocide denial is against the law, if you really want to know.

So, this is simply something you want?

But, you made it seem like the United States was an outlier for not doing it...

if you actually bothered to read I was talking about the US first amendment. But i'm sure they can find loop holes, they are good at that if anything.

[Machismo]

right, that's why sites like Gab, parlor, kiwifarms, etc. are just as poplar and used as much as FB and Twitter, that's why there are dozens of social media sites that I've somehow never heard of popping up all the time. I'm just blind to these sites existing and this isn't you pulling shit out of your ass, like you always do.

I never said they are just as popular. This is your straw man.

Regardless, it shouldn't matter to you how many there are, you want to nationalize them all.

Talk about limiting competition...

So, you want to sacrifice the First Amendment?

Well, at least you're finally being honest.

They will eventually abolish the 13th as well

I highly doubt the SCOTUS will rule to strip the scope of the 1st Amendment to the degree you want.

That would be Trump and his supporters.

I don't really care, so good for you?

I don't really care, so good for you?

Yes, it's great for me, and for anyone else who supports the 1st Amendment.

[JohnBrown1917]

Good for you, I'll continue to be glad to live somewhere that actually has a chance at censoring anti-vax misinformation for the good of public health.

And where would that be? I want to see what they have done to curtail it, this far.

I keep saying that every country without something similar to the first amendment has this power[and the rest still has plenty of other methods to control the media], do you just want to go in circles again?

Absolutely not, I'd prefer examples.

Are you simply referring to countries like China, who don't have free speech?

you both should have your eye's checked. can't read to save your lives.

[JohnBrown1917]

Why do you need examples? What is stopping a country from censorship when they only need a simple majority for it?

[Machismo]

Well, the issuenis you keep referring to these countries, as if they exist.

Meanwhile, we do have countries that restrict free speech, like China... and still have loads of misinformation.

That's why such a stance seems vague and tenuous.

[uuuhname]

You know Machismo supports paying people nothing for their work… right? He’s against minimum wages.

again an argument can be made that the 13th should be updated to you know, not make it so prisoners are slaves of the state?

Again, we keep going on in circles here.

What is stopping most countries from passing a law to censor misinformation about important health issues(i.e Vaccination) with a simple majority?
So be clear again before you go on about it again, this is all about how its possible, not that any country is actually doing it[they should].

[Shadowferal]

Freedom of speech...like yelling fire in s crowded theater....like the misinformation of anti-vaccines...lets keep that death toll rolling. All because the the deliberate refusal to see the middle for the sake of the corporate bottom line.

[Shadowferal]

Libertarians! These anime protagonists are champions of misinformation, corporate power, and child rape. Fuck your laws, I need muh freedumb!

Not child rape; it's child labor. As in prostitution is just another job that children will have to participate in.

I'm not sure why you are asking me this question, it's not my argument.

I'd say the push to allow freedom of speech is the root cause that is stopping government censorship.

Or... you can simply stop using companies like Facebook.
