RE: Flagging is not censorship

in #flags6 years ago (edited)

I found these arguments as fruitless as planting stones. They just don't give a shit. They think that because the platform "allows it" that it's okay or that because it's "promoting" the work it's okay, or because copyright is bullshit that it's okay. They just use post hock reasoning to justify unprincipled, amoral and devious behavior. They know it's destructive to the network, but they don't care. As long as they get theirs. Content skimmers and plagiarists are just thieves and thieves don't care if they hurt others.

I have spent three years blogging and most the blog sites I've been on copy and paste news article for discussion, very few only use part of a article and link....I think most news site really don't care because the link is always required, it puts their name out...free advertising, if people like the article or several articles from the site they are more apt to start following the site. More followers more advertisers advertising.
