Sweet, I'm sure this won't be used by AIPAC to sue all the tech companies for causing October 7th somehow like unrwa and force them to shutdown or suppress all talk on Palestine. People hearing about a genocide happening might radicalize them, maybe we could get away with allowing discussion but better safe then sorry, to the banned words list it goes.
This isn't going to end in the tech companies hiring a team of skilled moderators who understand the nuance between passion and radical intention trying to preserve a safe space for political discussion, that costs money. This is going to end up with a dictionary of banned and suppressed words.
Plus more demands for brackdoors in encryption.
Do you have some examples?
It's already out there. For example you can't use the words "Suicide" or "rape" or "murder" in YouTube, TikTok etc. even when the discussion is clearly about trying to educate people. Heck, you can't even mention Onlyfans on Twitch...
They don't like users mentioning their direct competition
