Will centre and left wing views be allowed on this platform or will they be "cancelled"?

Now your getting into the meat n potatoes of the whole reason I made the thread.

The primary reason why I don't advocate censorship on any platform, public or private, is because if you do, thinking your solving a problem, you essentially end up creating a monster.

The least of it being what you posted there, and I think your correct. You just end up with a bunch of insular media cells cancelling out everybody else.

Imagine someday the whole Internet becoming like that.

All because of censorship.

In other words, a platform where Republican Sheeples can lie to each other with no one questioning their lies.

Trump, GOP candidates embrace new digital platform to protect from 'cancel culture'

Thus is with Conservatives/Republicans in mind, yet I can't help but think it can expand into other territories that are subject to cancel culture and trends that advocated censorship and barring people with different views and perspectives.

It kind of reminds me of individuals beside ex president Trump who have been barred or censored like the late Imus or Howard Stern who consequently went over to satellite TV because of their controversial behaviors.

The question I have is do you think this will lead to a proliferation of future exclusive digital platforms of this type?

If you actually believe the goal of this or any “new digital platform” will be to “protect conservatives from cancel culture” that is adorably naive.

The purpose of this new platform will be the same as parley, or titter, or snapgram, or instachat. The point is to make money, and any suggestion to the contrary is just ad marketing.

And despite what they claim in their propaganda I have no doubt they will end up operating under parameters very similar to Twitter. If people try to use this new platform to spread hate they will be banned simply because that is not good for business. If they use the platform to plot criminal activity their information will be turned over to law enforcement.

If you really think anything will be different you are not living in reality.

"To protect conservatives from cancel culture" Pfffffffffff LOL.

More like, "to give conservatives safe space." The exact thing they whine about when lefties create them.

And?
If it is good enough for the democrats, why can't Trump have one?
I mean, with his concern for birds being massacred by wind mills, his stealing money from cancer ridden children, not paying his employees, the firing of celebrities from his reality tv show, his record breaking impeachment acheivements, he deserves a platform he can say whatever fool thing that comes to mind without the truth or facts or even reality interfering....

I think the right is being filled up with more and more whackadoodles who think that a site being taken down for hosting literal plans for insurrection against the state is called 'cancel culture.'

It has to be taken as alleged, not literal.

I think Trump was a catalyst but certainly not the cause because the partisan undertones up to this point have been brewing for a very long time, well before Trump ever took office.

There's definitely shared blame to be had all around..

There's a lot of people think just as ill of the Democrats with their own litany of accusations and I would say about half the country thinks the other half are bat**** nuts.

One thing for certain is I doubt Trump will be given access anytime soon by the left controlled media no matter what and its of course reciprocal.

This amuses me since conservatives try to cancel anything THEY don't like, the latest example being rapper LilNasX or whatever his name is.

I'm happy the internet is still open enough for Trump to utilize. That said, I think there should be great concern over forcing people to create insulated platforms.

I distinguish between conservatives and Trump and his followers. Conservatives in general are not barred from platforms. Outlets like American Conservative are doing well as far as I can see. https://twitter.com/amconmag?lang=en for example

But when a person or group resorts to continual lying and worse gaslighting, then a line has been crossed and shutting down that flow of drek is called for.

Is it OK with you if ISIS uses any platform to recruit people to terrorize and try to institute an Islamic State in the USA?

If you're not OK with that, then the question becomes where to draw the line.

I do feel there is an implicit bias out there that heavily favours the left isle of thinkers.

I think that's mostly sample bias due to the embarassing dearth of actual thinkers on the right wing of US politics.
You know a political movement is in dire straits in terms of recruits from academia when their intellectual figurehead is a guy like Ben Shapiro.

This seems to be the real issue.
That Trump wants to say what ever pops into his head and be allowed to with no consequences what so ever and anyone who disagrees should not be allowed to speak.

Oh how nice. They created a safe space for themselves.

I do think this will gain traction and profit. I don’t know if it’s necessarily for the best though. More and more echo chambers can lead to bad things, imo

That’s why I like coming here more or less. Allows me to leave the echo chambers of all the evil radical leftists I watch

Although I think it’s a bit rich for the Right to care about “cancel culture” lately. They’ve been trying to cancel fun things since forever. Remember the whole Harry Potter being satanic thing?
I remember seeing the news stories of self proclaimed Republicans crying about how video games caused school shootings and called for them to be taken off shelves.
Hell they literally canceled the game Doom in my country for like a decade. Granted we all just played bootleg copies as kids, but still

(Disclaimer I know this is a rather shallow representation of the American right wing on my part. Forgive me, as an outsider all I have to go on is the news stories.)

Well the perception is verified.


Most Americans Think Social Media Sites Censor Political Viewpoints

In sense they aren't wrong. Antisemitism for example can be a policy as is homophobia, racism and sexism. These were the cornerstone of many political ideologies that ranges from the infamous nazis, passing by a variety of religious fundamentalists and even a couple of stalinist on the far Left and a couple of third positionist wierdo like the few fans of the juche or anarcho-primitivists. The problem of "politics" and "political opinion" is that basically anything can be political. That's why there is this adage that says "the personnal is political". In the end, any person hate and prejudices can become so important to their worldview that it turns into politics.
