@alyaza I am conflicted on this. While I feel like it’s probably the right thing to do as Meta would just destroy the fediverse if it entered it, it makes me uncomfortable that this network that is supposed to be so open and connected with each other can be so easily and glibly made into what is essentially yet another privately controlled website.

@ahriboy

Is that high? I’m from the UK and I don’t really have good context

@BrikoX

@MudMan I only use Facebook for WhatsApp though, I avoid it everywhere I can, their devices, Instagram, Facebook

@IHangBananas I am pro free speech, and I would consider myself mainly left wing. But I resonate with the quote ‘I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.’ People have a right to read what they want, and they can block people for themselves to do that, but I think platforms have a moral, if not legal, obligation to host content regardless of whether they agree with it.

@Jeze3D

@Refune Legally, that is true. No one would argue that platforms have a legal obligation to host your content. But some would say that they have a moral obligation to host it. ‘I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.’

@iAmTheTot *Things that the mainstream perceives as shitty. Imagine if slaves were still illegal, and anyone campaigning for their abolishment was not allowed to speak on social media. See why you need free speech now?

And you might say ‘That’s different, slavery is bad and advocating for its abolishment is good, but advocating for Donald Trump is bad’, but that is the point.

‘I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.’
