Holding facebook responsible for facilitating communication is ridiculous.
It's like suing a phone company for what was said over the phone network.
Not exactly.
Phone network. How many people can you call at one time?
If you own a website you can be sued for the content you post.
It is like if I allow someone to stand on my property and hold conferences and loud hailer announce all kinds of rubbish offensive stuff. Am I not party to it?
The question is.....is Facebook a media platform? Is facebook a media company? to a certain extent it is
A newspaper cannot anyhow let people post articles and feature commentary talking all kinds of rubbish without taking any responsibility.
Why is FB possibly being sued? As I have said before and I heard this from lawyers themselves. When a legal suit happens it is NOT because of justice. It is because of money. And FB is rich.
I hope FB gets sued big big big.
Then we will see censorship on all these stupid platforms like twitter and FB and what shit.
Seriously people with no credentials have no place to talk about things of importance.
You wanna talk about leisure hiking food etc ok go ahead.
Things like science. Actual important stuff. Go to the proper channels.
We do censorship here too. No ads. It is not totally 100% free speech.
Everything has a consequence.
