Meta convinced a federal court to quash a lawsuit challenging its termination of six Instagram accounts run by self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan.
Why would Tate, or anybody else, be owed access to their platform. Imagine if people sued every time a service banned you, a restaurant kicked you out, etc…
In the EU, the DSA gives people pretty extensive rights to challenge such bans (and other moderation decisions), but only if the platform is sufficiently large.
Who the fuck are “you guys”? You have no clue what I stand for.
And be careful throwing around monoliths, cause the right and pedophiles/white supremecists/grifters/etc. are one in the same if thats the lens were looking at things through
how does it feel to be a sniveling cuckold of men using poor useful idiots like you to enrich themselves more than anyone in human history? your homophobia is so useful to them. hope you figure it out one day, buddy!
Regardless of any ethical considerations you may or may not have about the affected group: where does it lead if exclusion reaches a critical mass in a largely privatised society, making it impossible for a significant number of people to acquire necessary goods or services?
What exactly would your ideal world look like, and how would one prevent it from devolving into groups segregating by increasingly precise identity- or ideological markers? How would this affect societies and economies at large, if we fully reject the paradox of unlimited tolerance of intolerance? Have you ever tried discussing this with likeminded people and were they able to offer satisfying solutions that could withstand logical examination without requiring religious or otherwise tribal substitutions?
It means the few businesses who help marginalized groups have a lot more business than the other ones and benefit.
Furthermore, I believe in canceling bigots and spamming their businesses yelp pages. The government doesn’t need to force people to be good, society still exists

This is just what these far right overgrown toddlers do. They literally are not capable of understanding anything that isn’t about them.

I mean, when a gay couple sued about not getting their wedding cake you guys had the exact opposite response.
I’m of the opinion nobody can force you to provide service like a slave

People on Lemmy, not you in particular

It doesn’t matter what reason someone has to just refuse to do something. The government should not force someone under threat of violence to do work.
I can privately boycott businesses that I disagree with, give them bad reviews, etc.
We actually decided in like the 50s or 60s that it does matter.
As someone else already mentioned, sex traffickers aren’t a protected class.
