Indeed. In fact, I can almost see them wringing their hands over whether or not to restore Hitler’s account. They’d be like, “well, we realize he murdered over 6 million jews, but that was in the past and we can’t keep him off of our platform indefinitely.”
WTF is wrong with these people? You get life in prison for murder, you should get a lifetime ban from FB for fomenting an insurrection to overthrow the government. This isn’t hard!
Twitter will not rescind its decision.
Jack Dorsey has said so more than once.
I dearly hope so. I really really do.
What @geographyjones said: It’s an early warning system that gives you a minute or two to duck into a doorframe or get outside your house before the shock wave arrives.
“It is not permissible for Facebook to keep a user off the platform for an undefined period, with no criteria for when or whether the account will be restored,”
“Not permissible” to refuse to associate with shit-throwers? First Amendment would like a word…
Life Duffman, Jack says lots of things.
I’m still trying to figure out what the old South Vietnamese flag is doing there on the left.
The supervisory board that rendered this decision can overrule Zuck.
most of their moderation I suspect is algorithms or complaints
they won’t spend the $$$ money to police their own platform with human cops
Gotta start somewhere. Trump sounds like a good place.
Let him back on now, but make sure there’s someone dedicated to re-banning him when he does the exact same things that got him banned the first time.
Why would he want back on?
He’s got a cutting edge communications tool, now.
A blog.
ETA: I can only assume he is pushing his team to set him up on Friendster and Google+
Mike Pence once again proves how gutless he is by not getting Trump reinstated to Facebook.
This language which the board is using sounds so very governmental/judicial. FB is a private business. Zuck needs to take literal ownership of his business.
With the board giving Zuck a 6 month window to figure out if cutting Trump off from FB resulted in lower number of FB participants, or that advertisers left in flurry of hurry then make the decision on business reasons.
Zuck this is one of those things where you can’t please everyone all the time, you’ll be damned if you allow him, and damned if you don’t. So maybe the question is how much bloodshed are you willing to leave on your hands, Zuck?
Is TPM going to be putting comments and all articles behind a paywall. Currently on a 7 day free thing.
He would have more postings for his fans, but he’s waiting on the repair guy from A. B. Dick to come fix the mimeograph machine.
Or how much of the indelible shit stain called Trump are you willing to live with?
