I’m not denying the numbers but I was at Century City mall today. Lot of people relatively, lot of fun. Made 3 new friends today and went on a date. Yes roughly 2-3x the people are dying everyday vs 5 months ago. That’s horrible obviously but I barely see anyone in a close setting. But people are living despite it. My friend is dating 3 to 7 girls at once and they all know each other (and all hang out together). Not…

The residents of Singapore, Taiwan, and New Zealand are also having fun right now, without the 2x-3x people dying. The difference is that they stay at home when the experts tell them to stay at home.

At least in Taiwan everyone also wore masks, which was the opposite of what Western experts prescribed at the time. Telling people to wear masks was even banned in some places (though not on YouTube):

(Note that this is from March! When I left Taiwan in late January, everyone at the airport was masked up and slightly paranoid.)

Taiwan and NZ also closed their borders while Western experts "knew" that the coronavirus was just the flu, and that closing borders was xenophobic, racism is the real pandemic, etc. etc.

2020 is easily the year when Western experts failed the hardest I've ever witnessed. Absolutely surreal. Maybe we should fire and replace our current selection of experts before we ban everyone else.

you have your eyes closed if you think they're only censoring the worst kinds of content, like nazis. videos have been taken down for e.g. criticizing lockdowns. it has moved well into policing acceptable thought.

Give me an example of a video that was removed for "critcizing lockdowns" -- and I can guarantee the reason isn't the criticism, but the manner in which it is somehow "backed up" by disinformation about Covid. Playing into this idea that somehow criticism isn't allowed is disingenuous.

I’m sure you realize how difficult this would be to respond to, if such videos were in fact deleted.

On the other hand I don’t let my kids watch YouTube (even using YT kids and with my account to bypass ads) because they don’t do enough moderation of extremist videos. A few clicks leads to a lot of provably false BS.

With all due respect though, it’s not YouTube’s job to decide what’s appropriate for your kids, and there’s a big difference between what’s appropriate for children and what’s appropriate for the rest of us consenting adults to watch.

To directly answer your question, I would say no - however it is ideological activism to only enforce those ToS for specific services. The #killallmen hashtag has trended more than once on twitter, for example.

Sure, but no one has actually tried to kill all men. They didn't do this latest action until after people were actually killed by the violence incited.

It is still a very direct call to violence.

Framasoft who is behind this is famous in french opensource community for almost two decade. I guess it's unknown outside France?

>extremely relevant given everything going on What exactly do you mean by that?

Just in case this is a serious question, without editorialising, the following has happened in the past 48 hours: * Trump has been bannned from Twitter. * Trump has attempted to use the POTUS account, and had those tweets removed. * Trump has been removed from Facebook. * Trump has been banned from Twitch. * The Discord server for the_donald has been banned from Discord. * Parler has been removed from the Google Play…

If we go back to October-November, we also had a major newspaper banned from Twitter for weeks for posting a story critical of Hunter Biden with an implication that Joe Biden may have been involved in some type of corruption.

I have a hard time understanding why people feel like this is a new thing. If I start shouting obscenities during a live interview on ANY major media outlet, they will immediately kick me off. Is their refusal really the end of Free Speech?

Consider it from this perspective: Donald Trump was elected, not because he represented conservative people so well. Not even close. He was elected because conservative opinions have been given so little credence versus liberal opinions on the biggest platforms that they turned to someone who would fight those platforms head on. Liberal voices and opinions have been lauded, applauded, and promoted more than their fai…

Very well said.

I think the parent is referring to the outgoing President of the U.S.

Ah yes, Voldemort.. What an interesting time to be alive =P

"May you live in interesting times" is often understood to not be a positive wish!

Has anyone attempted to kill all men?

After a quick search, yes there is at least one incident of a woman who killed a boy and stated that she wanted to kill all men. There may be more, I haven't spent much time on the subject, either way the definition of incitement doesn't require anyone to follow through with the incited actions.

I definitely think that the person who killed a boy and stated that she wants to kill all men — I definitely think they shouldn’t have a Twitter account

Has Twitter been made aware of this person and won’t suspend their account?

Is it a credible call to violence, or is it more of a figure of speech?

I’d say that Trump’s calls to violence are pretty credible.
