What are your thoughts as the operator of a platform where people are free to say what they want?
As an individual, I believe that you are free to disavow and reject any objectionable content. If your customers think you’re wrong, they can go elsewhere. But as the platform operator who has the power (as a business individual) to amplify or reject certain viewpoints, I would argue that it’s your moral/societal responsibility to moderate, at the absolute minimum necessary level, what kinds of content are published in your business.
If I ran a coffee shop and someone walked in and started screaming anti-Semitic shit, I would tell them to leave my property.
Curious to know your thoughts. Again, no judgment — I think this is a question that we as a society need, and are working hard, to answer. And the only way to do that is discourse 💜
