There comes a time when all reasonable attempts sometimes fail. We hope/expect the general public to react accordingly and not be influenced by such rhetoric. But that is not always the case. Eventually, positive action needs taking by a few level heads.
"What has become increasingly clear is that we have a long way to go," Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, wrote in a blog post introducing the auditors' report. "While we won't make every change they call for, we will put more of their proposals into practice," she said.
Zuckerberg stated politicians are exempt from fact checking. A personal decision- not stated in its terms. Why them and not us?
Iget the feeling this thread will be greatly misunderstood without reading and understanding the original posts.
Facebook by permitting their notion of free speech as near absolute - actually is festering discrimination and hate. making arbitrary decisions of who can say what- much of which is viewed as violating their own TOA - results in behavior the community as a whole condemns.
Imagine a moderator participating in a thread (not here naturally) and another contributor points out Sam was muted for saying the same thing. It was deemed discriminatory to which most here agree was warranted. The mod responds with he’s a privileged case- exempt from the posted rules. Besides he didn’t use the exact wording but said it responsibly - something the general public can not be trusted to perform. He has a right to free speech like everyone else. What say then?
