Reddit has recently introduced an harassment filter which auto-detects abusive content and removes it without moderator interaction.
I've just noticed this filter is being rolled out widely across reddit.
Subreddits can opt out of the filter if they do not wish its services.
Twice, Fox has prevented public exposure of its villainy by settling court cases they were sure to lose. Testimony would have laid bare its abuse of 1st Amendment protections.
As a result of settling these defamation cases before trial the public never learned the facts of the case. Fox was able to shut the case down despite being guilty. The plaintiff dropped the case because it was paid off. The country was never made aware of the falsehoods spread by Fox and the damage it did.
The network claims to be “news” but also claims to be a “show” when necessary to evade charges of corruption. Well, which is it? “Shows” do not have 1st Amendment protections as do actual “News” organizations
Do I have this right?
So if I post anything arguing that Hamas and Hezbollah are also committing war crimes, and it’s not just Isreal committing war crimes, I get banned from subs I’ve never heard of and get put on warning and silenced.
This is totally wrong.
If Reddit is going to become a filter bubble of supporters of terrorism, is needs to be banned just like TikTok. This is nuts that non-inflammatory sane statements are being met with censorship just because they defy a political agenda.
So I cant talk here, and I don’t want to be on twitter with the far right shit, wtf.
Reddit better fix itself.
Why bother with political situations thousand of miles away? Of course knowing what's going on, not only in your little bubble, is good. But do we need to take sides on polarizing topics we don't have any effect on?
When I was younger I used to post on message boards whether it was EBay, MySpace, New sites, Game sites, my blackboard classes, and a litany of other channels.
I get next to 0 interaction on my posts today.
I stopped using the internet for about a decade but can’t understand this dramatic change.
Like I used to consistently have what I thought was high engagement in the early 2000s.
Is the internet just filled with bots these days? Or am I that uninteresting or repulsive?
