At what point does a tech company CEO or other high ranking official get murdered by a state actor for this type of thing? Yemen might not be willing (or able) to reach out across the world to murder a civilian business leader but states on the level of Russia can make "accidents" happen.

#162Ah yes, the double standards continue to show themselves. We can hate whoever the tech giants say we can hate.
If there was any doubt about the maliciousness of media and social media companies and actors, that should be long gone for anyone paying attention with a critical eye. The hypocrisy either leads to realization that one has been played all along, or severe cognitive dissonance.

#163I 100% support Ukraine but this is building a muscular reflex pattern than can't be unlearned. We shouldn't have private tech enforcing state wishes. They are no longer un-biased parties.

You think the US government is asking Facebook to make this decision?

#164I'm so glad US private tech corporations tell me what to think.
Are they? Or are they telling you what you can/can’t share on their platform?

> Okay, let's use your wording then. Would you say that in the hypothetical described above, that Islamophobia would be "all insignificant" and "least of people's worries"? My bad, I didn't know Islam was a country with a government that decided to send tanks and jets to invade and bomb a foreign country... /s That's the absurd parallel you are proudly are making as a sophist.

Let's do something about this. What should we do?
Allow any and all speech that comply with local regulations, with exception granted for commercial speech (ie. spam/advertising). Don't give out victim cards.
FYI in the US free speech has some exemptions in addition to commercial speech:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_ex...
> Categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment (and therefore may be restricted) include obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, and commercial speech such as advertising. Defamation that causes harm to reputation is a tort and also an exception to free speech.

I'd close it again if I could, but that would required creating another one first. but seriously, closing your Facebook account and moving to instagram really doesn't send much of a message, does it? It's the same evil company.
My comment wasn't clear. I updated it. Close them all. Use adblock and make sure they don't track you from social logins etc. Take every action you can to not feed that monster. Be anti-facebook and make your friends and family aware.
I've never had a Facebook or Instagram account for this very reason.

#170I've already seen this move compared to the "Two Minutes Hate" from 1984, and I have to agree, it's not that far off tbh.
