Censorship rule

0/2000

It’s not an assassination. It’s an execution. Assassination makes it sound like this guy is some kind of martyr instead of a mass murderer, which he is. That’s what he’s being executed for. Doesn’t make execution a good thing and it’s definitely fucked up that they’re televising it and using a firing squad, but it’s not an assassination.

He is being executed by a state that is a self-proclaimed enemy of Islam. This execution, if it plays out, will be used to radicalize non-state actors, amd incite acts of terror against the US.

The nuances and semantics won’t matter, any more than it matters to MAGA that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was right-wing.

Hopefully we’ll come to our collective senses before then, and just imprison him for life.

Who the fuck thinks that word has been censored for 15 years? It’s only been a few years where that kind of censorship has been common.

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 days ago

Yeah but the last two years have been at least a decade.

cosmos8188@leminal.space 14 days ago

Yep, an it was the capitalists under the excuse of protecting children/teenagers/minors.

Jimbo@pawb.social 15 days ago

I’m sorry, what?

smeenz@lemmy.nz 15 days ago

Trump is going to livestream a murder by firing squad, because that’s what the dictators he desperately wants approval from do.

latetolemmy@lemmy.world 15 days ago

You could’ve googled by the time you posted this. Downvoted.

Applesauce@lemmy.world 14 days ago

You could have just said nothing and moved on, but you decided to be you.

pirc_lover@feddit.uk 15 days ago

This is such a redditor comment T.T

‘Heh pushes up glasses you know you could have googled that snuffles rather than seeking human interaction in a comment section’

myyass@lemmy.world 15 days ago

I Qwant to search for the correct information but I get results I don’t Qwant. Thank you for your service.

late_pessimistic@slrpnk.net 15 days ago

What exactly do you expect a person who has just seen this meme to search?

I have just DDG’ed “host video of assassination” as an experiment and it found nothing.

stinkytofuisgood@lemmy.ca 15 days ago

People shouldn’t be censored for mentioning suicide. The way most of the internet handles any mention of it is a bit silly. Like, I don’t think sending an automated bunch of links to resources is gonna be helpful when your cry for help was removed and you’re back to being alone.

It’s fine to talk about suicide.

Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 14 days ago

I think the main reason its happening at all is because tiktok shadow banned for it, and youtube did too. If everyone hears their favorite influencer saying “Sewer Slide” or “unalive” eventually thats just the word for it.

I dont think anyone except those desiging platforms care at all, and they onky care because advertisers

BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 14 days ago

Won’t anyone think of the marketers? Can you imagine having your brand name sullied in an internet meme just because someone dies? It’s unthinkable!

God forbid human communication be human centric. We have to protect the brand integrity of the companies waging war against our insecurities. Better to send some links, shift liability, and delete the offensive posts.

stinkytofuisgood@lemmy.ca 14 days ago

Not to mention how anti-intellecualism is encouraged and fighting amongst each other is ignored. But if you say something politically motivated or hurtful to big tech’s interests, now that’s a problem.

I mean I just got accused of being a ‘rage bait’ bot on another platform for expressing a pretty reasonable opinion.

Fuck 'em

myyass@lemmy.world 15 days ago

People shouldn’t be censored for a lot of things anything. Can we agree to stop playing the turn a blind eye to reality game? The older I get the more I get sick and tired of that shit. My comment got auto modded because I wrote that someone called me a fg-t in public. Great success?

stinkytofuisgood@lemmy.ca 15 days ago

It helps to take pride in speaking your mind in the way you feel comfortable with. If you get banned or get backlash or whatever, fuck it. I agree that self-censoring has become way too extreme and tbh I blame the shitty corporations who punished people for going against their arbitrary terms and narratives, and bowing down to them.

GrumpyGrampa@lemmy.zip 15 days ago

These “ automated mods” being used by Reddit, Threads, among the many other social media forums have basically ruined their own intended purpose of allowing Free Speech for the masses! Basically useless overmoderated garbage, while posting murder, suicides, hate and death on their sites and expecting us to stay political correct! HYPOCRITES!

Thigs now allowed in America: Gang rape, livestream executions.

DidIReallySayThat@lemmy.world 15 days ago

Gang rape has always been around. Just not always livestreamed.

Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 15 days ago

Do the stations have to broadcast it? Can’t they just say ‘we think it is reprehensible to turn an execution into a public spectacle’?

mkwt@lemmy.world 15 days ago

No. They will have an open and shut case under the first amendment to choose not to broadcast. We still largely have the freedom of speech in this country, such as it is.

parlaptie@feddit.org 15 days ago

I wonder how many will actually show any spine, though. Google has so far been very accommodating to Trump with the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, so I fear YouTube will stream it.

disorderly@lemmy.world 15 days ago

Specifically freedom from compulsory speech, in this case. The freedom to not be forced to say something has a much better track record than the freedom to say what you want.

I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 15 days ago

We’d really like it if all of your affiliate stations would broadcast this. It would be a shame if your license renewal got held up in review.

spacehulk@lemmy.zip 15 days ago

Content mods ONLY care about advertiser revenue and will bend over for every dollar. If hosting this gets clicks they’ll do it. This isn’t the face they’ll make.

Sharks@pawb.social 15 days ago

Recently became aware of advertising companies restricting their ads from being shown next to artwork of two characters kissing, it’s insane. Freedom on the internet is now threatened by ad agencies. They are actively monitoring peoples artwork for this…

Arachnidbrilliant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 days ago

That’s a good point.

I miss CORN, NIPNOPS, ACCOUNTANTS and PEW PEWS

Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 15 days ago

Accountants?

Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 days ago

For whatever reason, sex workers are called euphemistically “accountants”.

dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 15 days ago

We need to be allowed to talk about accountants online again. Because saying managers and accountants sounds weird
