re: Twitter loses immunity over user-generated content in India

Sounds exactly like Facebook and Twitter, yet somehow they survived.

I know, so imagine the cesspools they'd be if they didn't moderate content.

quote:

---

They censored any and all content about a worldwide pandemic that didn't agree with the WHO/CDC narrative.

That's funny, because I saw PLENTY of that exact content scrolling through my feeds.

quote:

---

They banned a sitting president of the United States for a post telling people to go home from the Capitol on 1/6.

---

They banned him for repeated violations of their terms of use. Not sure what being a sitting president has to do with anything. I thought we all wanted equal treatment?

quote:

---

They have not banned multiple celebrities and politicians who called for the death of that same president or encouraged burning down cities and assaulting police.

---

I am more than sure that they have banned plenty of people for that type of thing. I am also sure that they haven't banned every person who did that. I just strongly oppose government getting involved in the day to day operations of private businesses.

If that is not bias then what exactly is it?

It is perceived bias. It is YOUR bias. You notice (or it is pointed out to you by your media of choice) when someone on the other side gets away with things under the radar, and likewise you notice when people on your side don't get away with things. You do not notice when things go the other way. And that's ok, we're only human. Same goes for the people running these companies.

But it is completely absurd to me for any American, especially conservatives, to suggest that the government should swoop in and try to eliminate any bias, perceived or real. Just mind-boggling.
