RE: Rise Up - Twitter Contest Extended

in #hive3 years ago

Using hate speech as a guise to blanket label a whole group of people, Parler, for example, with the recent ban of all utilities, is not the right approach. I don't believe most people that use Parler are fascist; I'm against any form of organized violence. Parler has 10's millions of downloads, the most downloaded app on the planet recently; if you think they are all fascist, then we live in a terrifying world in your reality.

I'm not political at all; I'm not a Trump fan, I'm not an Alex Jones fan, I'm not a Q fan. However, the ability to express oneself is fundamental.

Many people have been banned on Twitter for being non-violent. My theycallmedan_ account was banned five months ago, for no reason, and I never did anything that would violate their TOS. I've had other accounts I know that have been taken down. These people don't have any other place to go except Parler and other centralized sites.

I'm not the gatekeeper of information. If someone comes here and spouts illegal, hateful crap, they will get banned from every front end that does not want to be legally liable for hosting such content. Illegal content will be siloed away; they are free to open their wall gardened community, where they will be legally responsible for their actions.

I believe we do need a way to filter information for quality purposes. Blatant misinformation will be called out as so in a decentralized way.

I'm unforgiving in my pursuit of offering free speech to all. People who abuse that will face the legal consequences and be banished from the majority of Hive society. It's like illegal content before blockchain was put on the deep web, away from everyone.

Another note here is we can't stop people from using Hive. Playing a defensive strategy where you blanket label people a certain way in fear a few bad apples may stir up violence is not how this works in practice or theory. Having filters in place, being prepared for the inevitable is what is critical.

I'm not inviting fascists or any hateful people. I'm inviting the legitimate users that have lost their accounts for whatever reason. If you think everyone on Parler is a fascist, then that's just close-minded thinking that I despise.

Saying free speech is why people are violent is audacious, and trying to silence people in mass is tyrannical. Private companies can do what they want, but we need a decentralized solution for everyone who isn't a criminal.

Good luck with your delusional campaign

I see @acidyo the cunt that flagged all my rewards away for disagreements is your fluffer
