In the #US, #FreeSpeech protections allow #socialmedia companies to set their own #content policies. And #Trump & others on the right have successfully pushed social media firms to roll back #moderation rules that they viewed as silencing “conservative” [racist, antisemitic, sexist] voices.In #Britain & the #EU, there are certain restrictions on #HateSpeech & open #bigotry.#law #democracy #FreeSpeech #hate #disinformation #propaganda #immigration #tech #RevengePolitics

In 2022, the EU passed a #law called the #DigitalServicesAct that requires #socialmedia companies to meet transparency standards & to remove certain #racist, #antisemitic & #violent content if it violates national laws.The #Trump admin sees the Digital Services Act as an attempt to force #US platforms to censor speech globally — an allegation European officials deny.#law #democracy #FreeSpeech #hate #disinformation #propaganda #immigration #tech #moderation #RevengePolitics

@Nonilex It is not simply about online hate, it is about online harm, there are various challenges doing the rounds, some of which can be dangerous, content promoting self harm, suicide etc. This is what some laws want social media companies to deal with.

@Nonilex Musk has demonstrated ability to foment fascist riots in Brazil, Canada, UK, France and the USA.Musk is in the pay of his tech & fossil fuel investors, Alwaleed bin Talal, Larry Ellison, and Putin's oligarchs. He's promoting the anti-democracy agenda of Project 2025's racist financial backers:Bradley, Koch, Coors, Scaife Mellon, Seid and Uihlein.Musk deserved that EU penalty 10x's over.Start targeting Musk's investors too.https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-investors-elon-musks-x-revealed-court-filing-1942970

@Nonilex curbing online hate is censorship, so? Like censorship is not inherently bad.

@Nonilex I was going to write what I thought about the low-life orange ‘person’. But I was taught that if you can’t say something civil, it is better to say nothing at all.
