It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

TikTok “Permanently Suspends” the ‘Musk’ Film Account, Raising Suppression Fears (Exclusive)

bit.lyTikTok “Permanently Suspends” the ‘Musk’ Film Account, Raising Suppression Fears (Exclusive)TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. The move, which comes just as the Alex Gibney’s investigation into Elon Musk expands to more than 470 screens across North America, raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.Distributor Bleecker Street was informed Friday afternoon a “permanent suspension” was coming. The entire page disappeared from TikTok’s platform shortly after. The film company had been planning to spend ad money to boost certain posts; that will no longer happen.

John Stuart Mill’s and other philosopers' idea of free speech has challenges posed by social media: • Social Media fails to distinguish between emotive and factual language. • Its algorithms create moralism. • And its anonymity removes the consequences for words

The regulatory frameworks and the algorithms need to be made more transparent. User redressal mechanisms must be in place to assure that the technological governance is not compromising freedom of expression.

The creators and controllers of different forms of algorithms should be considered content providers not mere intermediaries? Perhaps at this stage we should review the liability shield and have all media types treated identicaly & made equally liable for the content published.

He was right about ULEZ He’s right about Brexit. No need to “revisit old arguments”/lies now we know it’s rubbish and costing us a fortune. Moving on means admitting this and asking about how to now join. Not pretending it’s ok in case Farage loses his shit. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sad...

Call it the MITCH Act. If a U.S. Senator can disappear from the job for months and still collect a full paycheck, working Americans shouldn’t have to choose between getting well, caring for family, and paying the bills. Paid leave for ALL. 🇺🇸 #USDemocracy #RisingBlue
