There are no laws on the books that force social media platforms to tolerate all political expression. While there are laws allowing then to be sued for violating civil rights, that’s not the same thing. Selective bans on people of specific political background are still a common thing across the internet.
So until that’s remedied we’re trapped with billionaire cretins trying to swing politics with their huge platforms.
Wohl and Burkman were fined for sending threatening and intimidating robocalls. Not spreading misinformation.
Fox News is also providing measurable benefit to Trump. They also spread disinformation. If euther of those things were illegal they’d been shut down back when they were calling Obama a Kenyan Muslim.
Please identify exactly which law Musk is breaking and with exactly which action.
How does a US citizen “interfere” in a US election? Nothing described in the article is illegal. “Interfere” is usually used to denote actions by outside powers.
US is not happy about this lol.
So long as the Israeli bot networks stay off of here. I don’t like how China is discussed here but it’s a function of the type of people this place attracts, i.e not fans of authority.
The FBI is the nefarious party lol
Yes, what shocks me most is that there was a small window of time in which media organizations covered Israel’s troll farms on there, but when Russiagate happened they essentially mentioned it only in passing from then on. To me, the subtext of that was Israel gets a pass as it’s not belligerent social engineering.
Reddit is one of the most infiltrated and astroturfed site. I have absolutely no confidence that the leadership are interested in addressing that. When there were suspicions it was anti-US actors, they had to take action because the government would get involved. But we all know that such pressure doesn’t exist for other astroturfing actors, state and private.
I could not think of a way you could have missed the point harder. The point of the article is that firms based in non-belligerent states are offering services to a government that has slaughtered children on an industrial scale for the past year. The article is talking about the legal and moral scrutiny that this monstrous cooperation demands and the ways in which this complicity is buried. You may as well have responddd to an article about 1930s IBM with this tripe.
