What do you think censorship is, exactly?

free speech can't include speech infringing on other people's dignity

Actually, that's exactly what free speech is for. Nobody needs free speech to tell their neighbor their hair looks nice today.

You are thinking about dignity and imagining a British aristocrat drinking tea from a fine porcelain cup with the pinky held up while plotting world domination. That's the vernacular meaning of dignity.

In the context of human rights, dignity is the natural right of every single person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically.

You don't infringe it by saying that your government is being managed by incompetent or immoral people. You infringe it when you say women belong in the kitchen and not in the office, or that black people are naturally inferior to white people, or that gay people don't have right to love who they love, etc.

I think liberal values like free speech, secularism, and tolerance might actually require defending from forces that abuse those values to destroy them. If this is the way to do it, then I think it’s becoming increasingly necessary. The fact of the matter is a lot of people are impressionable according to what they read and see. Society simply cannot function when there are malicious actors intentionally trying to spread divisive hate and misinformation. Make Facebook liable for hosting the kind of shit that led to January 6th.

They won't be able to. Tech laws in Brazil are incredibly archaic and non-sensical so this isn't even registering with people cause Brazil is so far behind.

Its so easy to implement a half-decent KYC these days. Thers a bit of KYC already but it's so basic any scammedr can get around it all easily.

Meta in particular is so bad. I've been reporting straight up scam ads on threads for months now and they're still there!

On the other hand, I think safe-harbour laws are very much necessary if we want the Internet to work for the positive good of the world. We want the companies to take reasonable precautions and act on problematic stuff if it crops up, but that's probably enough.

But on the other hand, jeez, have you seen what kind of discussion shitholes Facebook and Twitter have cultivated? If your company is being described as an accessory to genocide, maybe something has already gone horribly wrong.

Last week, as this discussion was getting media attention, Meta said that "most of those posts only stay up for 4-8 hours before the (uploader) deletes it, before we've had time to review"

Dunno how truthful that statement is, but that really shows how easy it is to game their system

Yes but they should have manual approval of every ad. I don't think thats too much to ask but somehow they've convinced some people to think that way.

If Fakebook or ex-Twatter suddely have to remove all hate-, shit-, and Nazi posts, they would probably be rather ... empty?
