YEAH!!!!
Facebook in particular seems to have little trouble leaving leftist-favored pages up in the face of thousands of complaints, while finding any excuse to immediately tear down conservative/right-leaning pages.
Good! It’s about time! Meanwhile they ban Pamela Geller and many many groups. It’s sickening.

...Facebook in particular seems to have little trouble leaving leftist-favored pages up...
Leftist pages are nothing compared to actual video and stills of savage Muslim atrocities that they allow to remain posted on the site, citing that they fall within guidelnes. Maybe their guidelines, but not the guidelines of a civilized society.
Google helped lead the coup against Mubarak in Egypt.
Ban Facebook!!
Ban Google!!
Ban Twitter!!
Like the Ladder manufacturer getting sued because they didn’t have warming stickers saying do not climb if Drunk
Ban, ban, ban!!!
“Like the Ladder manufacturer getting sued because they didnt have warming stickers saying do not climb if Drunk”
Or the ladder manufacturer getting sued because somebody pushed your grandma from the top of the roof. “Why wasn’t the ladder there to prevent the fall?”
This will not kill Google, Facebook or Twitter. It will basically guarantee them a monopoly.
This lawsuit opens the subject up for serious discussion.
“As AI continues to improve, youll see fewer instances of extremism and other offensive content. For now, think of it as the price of admission to an open Web.”
they can also program the sites to allow who they want. Or warn of authorities use to stop the terrorists. A simple code could protect the terrorists code from being logged at all.
AI or not...
Why sue businesses? Businesses have no responsibility to keep you safe. It is your own responsibility and one of FEW responsibilities of the responsible government. If you cannot keep yourself self and your government, which you elected, cannot keep you safe, then perhaps you DESERVE it.
I disagree, that conclusion is not foregone. To win a lawsuit like this, you’d probably have to show that the companies acted in bad faith, and didn’t really try to stop the terrorists from using their platform to aid in their criminal activities.
If the company can show they acted in good faith, and simply didn’t have the necessary resources to catch everything, they should win the suit. The only sites that really need to be worried are ones where terrorist-related stuff is being reported, but nothing is ever done about it.
Agreed, in the crazy world liberals live in.
However, in case it matters in the real world, FR does not promote terrorism or other criminal acts. There is a difference between offensive matter and the promotion of criminal acts.
I think allowing people to view their atrocity will let people see how evil they really are.
