nailed it, the world has gone nuts. appreciate how objective u are here, in your analysis of the pug salute especially. is that guy still in jail?? Is Mel Brooks in jail with him, for also making fun of Nazis?

Here's some more color on FB as it compares to Snap...

I caught that Zuckerberg quote when I watched the hearing, but no one seems to have picked up on it! At least, no mainstream news agency. It really would be a shame for them to start policing what we say. Even if they're just targeting "hate speech," that is still censorship. We should let hate speech talk itself out. Hate speech will never stand up to reason and will never win out over the majority of the population.

yes i am agree to your post .Its realy batter to your The Threat Of Hate Speech post

Non- answers are they best, aren't they zucci.........
This is such pile of horse crap. I mean he provided no answer which essentially translates to that answer can be changed without any accountability. That congressman - what a wuss, he could have probed deeper and gotten him really uncomfortable.

And it is!! I loved your publication my dear friend. I am new follower of yours

You do realize that the list of people you follow is public, right?

Why are you lying to me for no reason?

CAN YOU UPDATE AGAIN? , WHAT WILL IT SERVE ME LIE IN FOLLOWING YOU? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

Look, I don't care what you do, but don't lie to people.

could be a beta bug.... the follow buttons often load like thick shit trough a funnel. But then again , there are just as many bullshitters so you never know what you are dealing with. I hope this gets fixed before the platform goes out of beta in 10 years or so

many things are happening in the world and you are one of those big trend

Arresting a guy for teaching a dog to make a Nazi salute whilst the BBC plan to broadcast the British Union of Fascists leaders "Rivers of Blood" speech pretty much sums up the state of xenophobia in brexit-limbo Britain right now...

I'm confused by your comment 🤔

One rule for the poor, another for those in power.

What a slippery slope.

Would FB censor based on political dictation, religious belief, etc etc.

I like steemit's approach where you can simply mute the user. This gives me the ability to "censor" anyone I want. And ... if I feel like it, I can remove that censor.

Personally, I think the whole "trial" is the first attempt for the US government to try to get access to the data that FB holds. Otherwise, they would be going after Cambridge Analytica instead.

That's a pretty good point. Big data is one of the most powerful developments of our age and congress doesn't understand it well. There must be some serious worry.

There is a big difference between racism and to speak out your mind!
But while there is a big difference, it still is a tin line!
I'm trying to teach my kids to treat all people, regardless of skin color, religion, status and so on, the same. It that is how they would be treated!
The problem with AI and facebook is that they will define rasism of hatred. Since when do they have the power to do this.
Just like they are banning mother who are breastfeeding their child!

It is easy trying to be the moral knight, when at the back of people you are selling their identities.
But back to the main topic!
It is hard to define those things. Some things could be considered hate speech, while others (also smart people, not the extreme from left or right) consider it okay!

On a open blockchain the same problems will/could arise. We could use the power to flag a post, but others could upvote it. Then it would be up to the users if it is okay or not!

Edit: forgot to mention that I would appreciate some feedback on my latest post. I am normally not the person to ask these kinds of this. But I do feel that is utmost important. Feel free to take a look, no strings attached. I will still follow you, upvote your post and comment you!

So facebook is the police?

Where did facebook go to police school?

And how does facebook make sure that it is a fair police?
And why does facebook police different for certain groups of people?

And Artificial Insanity, how will that be policed?

O wait, they first let that go out of control for 10 years then wait for an election gate and then use AI as destraction to hide the corrupt election....

I think the "pug salute" is really funny but should not have said "Gas the Jews" even typing that sends shivers down my spine. Also Hitler did not speak English. So why on earth was it even uttered in the first place just blows mind.
True it is always good to have some good comedy but one must not be INSENSITIVE.
MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT BAFFLES ME IS THAT IF THE DOG WAS IN INDIA OR JAPAN (ANYWHERE BUDDHISM IS THE MAIN RELIGION) THE GIRLFRIEND TOO WILL BE "IN BIG TROUBLE" FOR NAMING THE DOG "BUDDHA". wonder why no one caught up on that.
Even though it is common practice in the West to name their pets BUDDHA and we all overlook it, this too is in my opinion "being insensitive" to a lesser degree.
Great post @shayne. Thank you for the timely posting of this with so much detail.
I found your blog when searching of "help on STEEMING for beginners" on youtube. Your video STEEMIT PROGRESS REPORT was awesome.
This information should reach everyone as quickly as possible so people have an alternative to FACEBOOK and the likes...
RESTEEMED.

wow great post @shayne
