The platforms “are all facing this problem where the right wing has been on them repeatedly about content moderation and how they [shouldn’t] control any content,” said a lobbyist for Meta, who was granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak for the company. “And now the tables are turned in some fashion, and people are all over them, saying you can’t allow this kind of content and that kind of content.”

It’s almost like these fascists never gave a shit about so-called “free speech” but the credulous MSM continually gave them an open and unquestioned platform.
Right wing, you can’t control or censor social media.
Right wing, you need to control and censor media
Right wing, you can’t control or censor our social media.
Right wing, you need to control and censor your mediaFTFY. This is the same thing they’ve always done, they’re just finally in a place where they can put a tion to the rhetoric.
You mean Nazis, that’s how the Nazis operate. Don’t ever sugar coat it.
Schrodinger’s internet.
Wasn’t their entire thing that we needed free speech and shouldn’t let big tech be in charge of that?
Oh that only applies when people say things they want to hear? Got it.
As far as I’ve ever been paying attention, conservatives only argue in bad faith. It’s always been about elevating their own speech and suppressing speech that counters theirs. They just couch it in terms that sound vaguely reasonable or logical in the moment if you don’t know their history and don’t think about it more deeply than very surface-level.
Before, platforms were suppressing their speech, so they were promoters of free speech. Now platforms are not suppressing speech counter to them, so it’s all about content moderation to protect the children, or whatever. But their policies always belie their true motive: they never implement what research shows supports their claimed position of the moment. They always create policies that hurt their out-groups and may sometimes help their in-groups (helping people is optional).
Social media was biased against the left more than the right since before the Republicans went on their big Crusade against social media censorship. The Democrats welcome the actual left getting banned off social media, they hate and fear the left more than they hate and fear Republicans, while the Republicans fight for the right when they get banned.
Dems relished using the far right to get cause to also remove their left ctitics under both sideisms, convinced as they are if we all just pretended they were good they would win.
It is our fault, we did not believe hard enough, but I digress.
Nothing to see here, just the government abridging the freedom of speech.
The only amendment they seem to care about is the 2nd, and only when it isn’t minorities arming themselves
Fuck Charlie Kirk, I hope hell is real so he can burn in it.
These nazis are desperate to share Kirk’s fate.
Imagine what would happen if it happened again to another nazi in the near future. They would have no idea who to talk about or what to say.
Of course they would. Hitler himself could appear and do the deed and those mouth breathers would still be like “the left did it!” Hell they’d probably think Hitler was a liberal.
Is that a surprise? Don’t we know enough that when they talk about freedom of speech, they mean they should be allowed to insult and incite violence against minorities, but critics against them should not be allowed?
I never knew who this prick(kirk) was until he got shot in the neck and died instantly after a disgusting defense of gun rights. I’m glad I know who he WAS now. It’s soothes me when I think about his final words
As usual, Politico’s whitewashing the significant Democrat contributions to the tech censorship regime. This isn’t something you can fix with party politics.
Hang on I thought the complaint was that there was no content moderation, but thanks to the democrats there is content moderation. So what’s your complaint?
The social media companies have been burying Gaza news for years now, with both parties in full participation. Who the fuck said there’s been no moderation?
What about 🥶 🍑
