#harmful-speech — Public Fediverse posts

@timbray @yoyoel 👍👍👍 Impressive article about the terror both Trump & Musk are outrageously allowed to ignite under the guise of misinterpreting, anachronistic & even life-threatening opinions on the First Amendment.

"Backed by fans on social media, Mr. Trump publicly attacked me. Two years later, following his acquisition of Twitter and after I resigned my role as the company’s head of trust and safety, Elon Musk added fuel to the fire.
I’ve lived with armed guards outside my home and have had to upend my family, go into hiding for months and repeatedly move."

@gwaldby There's no efficient way around treating intentional mis- & disinformation, which cause harm as punishable criminal offenses — not as free speech, which approves & honors bad faith behind harmful mis- & disinformation.

So if for example some idiot seriously tells you to swallow disinfectant to treat COVID & you are gullible & naïve enough to believe him, and your inner organs get severely damaged as a result, he FFS needs to be held accountable & punished.

For the sake of justice & to set a deterring & warning example.

Same with harmful mis- & disinformation produced, paid & spread by lie factory Fox "News".
