Every social media company's "policies" are just an ad hoc mess of all the ways they've found to get people to stop yelling at them.

Yeah, vox is poo poo but it doesn't advocate gassing queerfolks or anything

Vox, like youtube, has this progressive veneer but also regularly pulls marketplace of ideas poo poo to justify publishing really horrid poo poo. Like back in April they wanted to run a "what will the world look like in 50 years" thing and commissioned a bunch of pieces, including this from a Liberty university professor.



I'm pretty sure they wrote the headline and had her fill in the rest, and in the middle of an abortion access crisis.

Also back in April Ezra had a white supremacist on his podcast.



The thing that I viscerally hate vox for is this gunwank article they published a week after the pulse nightclub shooting, which reads like a wirecutter article recommending a rifle.

Sorry I probably should have posted all this first but vox sucks rear end and I've never watched acarlos maza video but I'm sure they're garbage.

lowtax gave some interviews awhile back to magazines about social media which is the best thing i've ever read on it

https://theoutline.com/post/2437/who-banned-roger-stone

quote:

It seems, though, that Twitter has become an important place for political discussion and things of that nature. A public space, almost. Do you think rules like those Something Awful has, where you can be banned for pretty much anything, would work in that kind of environment?

Twitter has to at least be transparent, and that's something Twitter has notoriously refused to be. Words go into the black box and consequences come out and you have no idea what caused them or how to prevent it in the future. For instance, there was this guy on Twitter. Of course he had a Pepe avatar, and he was responding to some woman and he called her "a dumb oval office" and told her shut up and posted an image that said, “Rape Sloth is my spirit animal.” We all reported him — I, personally, and I know other people who had — and it took them three weeks to actually suspend his account. Whereas my account was suspended after four hours. Nobody really knows how things work there because there's an utter lack of transparency and they, for whatever reason, don’t have any inclination to be transparent or say what the rules are or make it cut and dry.

We don't even know whether it's an algorithm or a person. Is it a basic keyword search that flags “Nazi” or “rape” or “oval office”? That would make sense, but why would it take three weeks to suspend the account of someone tweeting rape threats? Why is Richard Spencer verified, when wherever he goes people get killed because of him? Nobody really knows. From what I've heard, and I don't know if this is true or not, it’s just low-level interns making arbitrary decisions and they give no fucks. But I can't confirm or deny that because there's no way for anyone to figure out how Twitter works or why they work the way they do.

When you get permabanned on Something Awful, are you still able to see the forums at all?

No. You seen an image of a gigantic tarantula on a man's penis. It's spidercock.jpg.
