      You bring up a reasonable point but that's still not a reason for NOT banning him, right? It's like, "good job arresting Epstein and Maxwell, but also screw you for not arresting any of their pedo friends".
      They just banned this one because it was becoming very big. This happens in any corporation. Blizzard unbans Asmongold quickly because it was a PR risk, big companies are quick to fix problems when it comes to something big/popular. They banned Tate because it was becoming big and he clearly had done enough to warrant a ban, they're not efficient/effective enough to ban these muppets when they "only" impact a few thousand people.

    Idk why people have chosen Tate to get all up in arms about freedom of speech. There's so many better people you could reference that don't think that men should have authority over woman, which, by the way, would be completely antithetical to the idea of free speech to begin with.
    If people use their right to free speech to cause demonstrable harm, that would be an element of our free speech we must get rid of in order to preserve the value of free speech itself. Free Speech has no value in a society where we don't hold people to account. It's opposed to the objectives of free speech. If you're a fan of freedom of speech, you can't really be in favor of a set of circumstances that can lead to the destruction of it.
    The point of contention with most free speech advocates ultimately ends up boiling down to "I think the harm in doing or saying whatever you want is less important to society than the ability to do or say those things.", and I think we have a much healthier society overall when adhering to things that harm the fewest amount of people possible.

    • @Iniak.

      Why do we need to get rid of the speech? If someone has caused demonstrable harm we have civil and criminal systems to hold them to account.

      @@Iniak. He left the UK to avoid a sexual assault investigation, so in terms of the criminal justice system, he's actively trying to avoid charges (and just describing him as a repugnant douchebag is a bit underselling them with this in mind). The system must be changed in this regard, but I've seen vague statements like yours about "the system must be changed" all the time, but nothing really about what in specific should be changed about it.
      Overall, I think we have more free speech than people like to screech about already, but if people want to argue for more, more power to them I guess. I just wish you guys picked someone that wasn't under an investigation or hated women to champion the free speech movement. It makes everyone look silly.

      The only reason they aren't considered part of the press is because they have section 230 protections (can't get sued for things said on their platform), which are only supposed to apply to them so long as they don't act as a publisher, but they are acting as a publisher by censoring people and editorializing their posts. So they're simultaneously acting as a publisher while having section 230 protections, which isn't supposed to happen.

      "constitutionally considered apart of the press"
      This will not, or at least should not, ever happen.
      Social media and journalism are 2 very distinctly different things.
      Journalism entails gathering, (hopefully) verifying, editing and then disseminating information. The entire process, from start to finish, is under the control of the journalist(s) involved.
      Social Media is just another form of open forum where anyone and everyone can enter and express their opinions and ideas. Unlike journalism, there is very little proactive control over what gets posted on the platform, it's almost entirely reactive. Outside of some algorithm based filters (i.e. filtering profanity / vulgarity, etc) the platform has very little control over what gets posted until after it gets posted. Reactive in the sense that they do not actively gather, verify or edit the information before it gets released. They primarily rely on reports from other users to find and eliminate any questionable items that get posted.
      In other words, journalists active create the content they release. Social media sites do none of those. They just provide a platform for other peoples' content.
      With that being said...
      I fully agree with a "their house, their rules" approach, as you suggested, with the obvious exception that, as khalkara brought up, they don't break any laws.

    Eh, Asmon is factually wrong on just about every part of this commentary. I can't point to a single sentence that is true. Here's just a few obvious points of fail.
    (1) "Public companies" aren't public charities. The word public in "public company" refers to how their stock is traded and regulated NOT that the company is altruistic and providing free services to the public. These are private entities with no duty to you unless you buy their stock. Even when some internet services have been setup as 501c3, such as Craigslist, but even they have TOS that ban harassment, incitement to violence, and hate speech.
    (2) ToS isn't about disagreement with opinions. Jack Dorsey isn't paging through tweets deciding who to ban based on whether or not they disagree. It's usually about what's in the ToS. What's in the ToS is about a combination of the law and lawsuits. You can't do targeted harassment or hate speech on any platform, not because of Jack Dorsey's opinion, but because the platform would get sued. Any content that gets the platform sued is going to be exempted in the ToS and get you banned, becauze Twitter doesn't want to have to budget hundreds of millions of dollars for lawsuits. Nobody at these companies gives two craps about your opinions, it's when you cost them money and get them named in the lawsuit.
    (3) Andrew Tate was allegedly involved in just about everything discussed above, in terms of targeted harassment, hate speech, incitement to violence. His whole scam also appears to me to be a Multi Level Marketing (MLM) scheme, which is illegal in most States, so to the extent he's using platforms, again, there's liability and the potential the platform gets sued, allegedly, in my opinion. Just about everything that comes out of Andrew Tate's mouth is a lawsuit and insta-ban.

      Is it within their right to kick them out? Yes; but its not within the spirit of the invite into the house. The companies should be held to their own TOS, and normal legal conventions for the founding nation; and if you don't break those rules, you don't get kicked from the platform.

    Let's be real, we are all people on someone else's sidewalk on social media. These are privately owned companies. If you are shouting on the sidewalk outside a restaurant, maybe they don't care for a while. But if the owners get annoyed or they start losing customers or they get complaints, they can get you removed (particularly if you're inside their property line). Should this be how it is? Maybe, maybe not. But just pointing out there are similar situations outside of digital owned space.
    In terms of deplatforming, I do think platforms should have time limit guidelines when they ban. I think bans should be long term suspensions outside of law breaking like Asmon said. People can express themselves, but not on the company board's sidewalk. Until these companies are public entities, I think outcome is still going to be tied to the bottom line, which means they make and modify the rules.
    Asmon says "publicly owned company" but they aren't publicly owned. They're publicly traded, still privately owned.

A company like facebook allowing members to post freely is equivalent. It's not special. They are free from liability because they are not the one doing anything wrong. Just like the restaurant -- they are free to eject anyone for any reason so long as it's not protected. That does not suddenly incur liability from what somebody who is not them says.

Same if any majority bias gets full control of huge social media platforms.

Preaching things such as it's all a woman's fault if she gets cheated on because she's a dumb bimbo that has saggy tits or something, and should stay with the man regardless because everyone is going to cheat on her anyway so she should just stay with the man she loves and put up with it, should not be tolerated (see Asmon reacts to the most pathetic alpha male). I would disagree that most women would like to be treated in such a way. Abuse isn't always physical, and this type of shit contributes to emotional and mental abuse. I feel like you're placing way too much faith in men, specifically the ones that listen to people like Andrew Tate, if you truly believe that they would just 'let them go' if their partner no longer wished to be controlled and manipulated. In this example, why wouldn't the man just break off the relationship if he feels he really needs to cheat? The pain of cheating is easily avoidable but he's encouraging it. The way he talks about other men is equally as horrendous, basically calling them all bitches if they don't act the same way he does, and insulting their wives if they speak out against his behaviour (see Leon Lush). I also don't believe a lot of modern society, at least in the west, agrees with Sharia law, but we can't do anything about it unless the people partaking choose not to. Or we start a war.

    Asmon says he is not guilty or proven. But by Tates own words he has said that if he leaves Romania he will go to jail for a long time, and will probably never see the outside again. Implying heavily he knows that he will be convicted and sentenced to a longer time period than most for human trafficking charges. Makes you look even more guilty with multiple countries trying to charge you with human trafficking. It is also easier for me to believe Tate who doesn't deny he is guilty, than the seven accusors to all be lying. Running from warrants doesn't make you look more innocent, not sure why asmon keeps insisting on it.

      That’s literally false…. He frequently travels to whatever country he wants freely. The human trafficking shit came from a girl that was at his house, his brother hooked up with her and never called her again. This girl had a boyfriend and the boyfriend found out, instead of telling her bf she cheated on him, she made up a lie about how she was kidnapped and kept in the house against her will alongside other women. Andrew was arrested and released within a few hours that same day because it wasn’t true. There is no investigation it’s just false info that bitter women have spread around like parrots. The reason he left the UK to go to Romania is because he had a falling out with a cam girl that worked for him and she went to the police with again false accusations, and the UK wrongfully raided his house and stole thousands of dollars worth of equipment, so he left to a country where the police don’t blindly believe women just for being women.

      I will disagree with the first half of that statement because I see a place like Twitter and other such platforms as "public squares" because people use them in the same way as the old town squares before the internet: Information gathering. With that in mind, you can't get all the information in a story if Twitter bans Billy from saying his side of the story on why he hit Jimmy in the face.
      The 2nd half is something I will agree with. Twitter and other such platforms openly do not follow their own ToS and even prove it openly by banning people for saying something that is explicitly in the boundaries of the ToS (no calls for harm or r--ism or whatever). To this extent, Twitter and other such platforms need to be held accountable on some level that they should be required to clearly define what breaks ToS and why your post breaks it.

    This is what people get wrong. “They’re a private company they can-“ no, they are operating as service provider. AT&T is a service provider. They cannot deny anyone service. They also can’t hand over your phone call or text data without a warrant. David duke can use AT&T & say whatever he wants on his phone calls unless they get a warrant from the fbi, & even then, they just get his calls & texts, they don’t get to stop him from using the phone.
    Services must be publicly available to anyone. They also receive subsidies, tax perks, & are immune from trust/monopoly laws, and other things.
    A platform or a private business can do what they like & refuse service to anyone. But they are also subject to a wide range of other laws & taxes.
    The issue is social media platforms cannot claim to be service providers if they police content/creators.

    I generally agree with Asmon's position of "even if you have differing opinions, people should still be heard" but this is different. Private companies are allowed to decide what/who they want on their platform and you do have to agree to their rules in order to use their platform. Usually there is a clause stating they have the right to ban you for any reason they deem necessary as a legal protection against things they cannot predict. If you don't want to follow the rules of their platforms, you have to create your own platform, like your own website or social media app. The comparison of "an internet company banning you from a furry site" isn't at the same level, considering the internet itself is a critically protected infrastructure to our modern way of life, so an internet company wouldn't legally be allowed to do that. I understand Asmon's stance that he believes the government should take away a private company's right to determine what they can and cannot ban for, but that is a slippery slope. In the real world, that would apply to things like McDonalds not being able to ban people who aren't wearing a shirt and shoes in their restaurant. You have to allow private companies their right to ban things that they deem harmful, even if it's harmful opinions or misinformation. That's just my take on it though. Love you, Asmon.

People have the right to go build another social media platform that's their own and say what they want... But that's not feasible for 99% of the population, So the question really is. Should the companies who have become entrenched so heavily in everyone's lives throughout the years, be able to flex their rights to not do business with someone or to ban people off their platform?

His 'front-personality' hooks right in with everything that is seen as an issue or controversial, it's like he took time to actually take everything and cooked up an over-the-top personality, which would gain him a lot of attention quick on 'issues/controversies' which would spark outrage, negativity cooks up way more engagement. I like to believe Tate thought this through from the moment he stepped on the gas verbally, can't blame him, he already had money, but this brings in 7 figures a couple times over per month. kudos to him. Just have seen him open up more and conversate more calmly and carefully picking his words here and there on some not really mainstream podcasts.

    It's blatantly obvious that these social media companies selectively enforce their rules (which aren't all that clear to begin with) against people they dislike while letting some of the worst offenders off the hook. Section 230 exists to protect these companies from being sued for stuff said on their platform, so long as they act as a platform and not a publisher. By arbitrarily banning people they don't like they are acting as a publisher and should lose section 230 protections imo, or at least section 230 should be reformed and made more clear and allow for these companies to be sued when they selectively enforce their rules or have rules that aren't clear as to precisely what constitutes a violation of those rules.

    Well, I'm generally 100% when it comes to freedom of speech. But people sometimes forget that this includes freedom of association.

And if that gets abused enough, then a competing product will eventually exploit any bad will I've created. The waters get murky with critical infrastructure (like banks, schools, etc).

    Saying it should be according to law is a bad idea, platforms are used by all countries, not just the US, and that's why you have to adhere to ToS regardless of country, because law is not the same everywhere. ToS should be the ultimate rule here.
    People with harmful ideas like Tate should be deplatformed because even if you can debunk those ideas (and if the algorythm even decides to show a rebutal to viewers) people who already bought into them will rarely change their mind, the damage is already done.

    I disagree. The platform owner should be able to yeet whomever they wish, whenever they wish, for whatever reason they wish.
    What if you could only ban chatters who were breaking the law? Last I heard, spam/ad bots were not against the law. Should they be allowed to stay on the platform? Let the owners run their platforms, and let the people left behind after bans decide if they are okay with it and want to continue to use the platform.

    @thelightlord6081 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    my simple answer is they can do whatever they want. It is literally their property and if they don't want it then they have every right to remove said content from their site. I think people take social media sites for granted and that they're entitled to them, but forget that they are businesses, we have no entitlement to their service, we are effectively in their ballcourt. So yeah, they're justified because they can do what they want with their services and we don't have to use said services nor are we entitled to. If shareholders are upset with the decision then that's a different matter. For example Asmon can ban whoever he wants for whatever he wants because it's his stream, people choose to partake in said streams and are not entitled to them. We enter asmon's domain and must abide by his rules as much as he must abide by Twitch's TOS as he is in their domain using their service. People seem to forget we aren't entitled to the use of social media, and that companies can take things down because it's their business, not ours. I mean if someone walked into your house and started raving on about something you didn't like, you'd want them out and rightfully so, because it's your house, your rules, and the person who put himself in your house has not right to say what he wants in your house if you don't like it and don't want him there.

    It's really simple: There's a set of rules and if you break the rules you get reprimanded, doesn't matter how unpopular someone is or what they espouse, as long as they don't break the TOS, they should be on the platform.
    Cancel culture is when you follow the rules but get disbarred or reprimanded unfairly from platforms when they follow the rules, the problem is that that rule-set is ambiguous and it's interpretations can be twisted to ban whoever they wish.

      Your idea of cancel culture is probably the dumbest thing I have ever read. First of all, you can be cancelled by the general public, even if you aren't banned from platforms. So not breaking TOS is no guarantee you are free from getting cancelled. Second the idea that if you break an arbitrary TOS made by a company you deserve to be deplatformed is ridiculous. Because TOS themselves can be incredibly biased and discriminatory. A black person didn't deserve to go to prison just because he rode in the white side of the train when that was illegal. It doesn't matter the rule existed, the rule was bad and stupid. Same applies to TOS today.

    What makes this really hard, is that a few major comanys own basically all discourse on the internet. of course a private buisness can make rules and you have to heed them within reason. But getting banned off these platforms basically makes you persona non grata. Say for instance you get banned from a resurant for being naked. You still have 1000000 other resturants you can still go to. its a really tough issue we face.

      I think the problem comes up when you get into what social media actually is though. The companies that own the sites are NOT considered publishers of whatever someone says. Thus the companies wouldn’t get in trouble if someone on the site said something racist.
      The problem occurs here when these social media sites try to have this power (of not being a publisher/speaker) while also enforcing these very strict guidelines of what you can and can’t say (like a publisher would). It’s one of the other, not both. At least in my opinion it should be.
