| They always looked for places where to share their opinions with other people Those places didn't weaponize their feelings and weaknesses against them to sell them ads Want to make a global social network? The State should be able to control them (every single state they operate in) and their decisions should be held accountable in court The SN banned you? They should have human support to solve the issues and a judge could overrule the decision, while now they are black holes I trust the State, more than Facebook, if someone doesn't they shouldn't impose their decisions on other groups, including other countries It's weird to read that people living in countries where the police can arrest you for not stepping out of the car or saying to a police officer to f*ck off defend the right to wear swastikas or private companies keeping public speech hostage in the name of freedom Decentralised web can exists only among many small actors, when there are a few behemoth that control everything, of course segregation is gonna be the most obvious response: Russian internet, Chinese internet and let's hope European internet soon. |
This can be said of every media company. Every newspaper, magazine (low-brow or high brow), radio, TV station, cable TV company.
Every. Single. One.
> I trust the State, more than Facebook.
It doesn't matter who you trust more. It matters who you are able to disengage from. We as individuals and as groups can choose to keep Facebook of our lives. Can the Chinese say the same from the CCP?
> segregation is gonna be the most obvious response (...) let's hope European Internet
So, you are so afraid of Facebook's "control" of the internet that you would actively advocate to put in the hands of tyrants and kleptocrats?
Either you don't understand the concept of "decentralized web" or you are just fucking with me.
