RE: Can IPFS Bring An End to the Facebook Era?
I'm going to play devils advocate regarding the Alex Jones censorship. I heard this viewpoint on a podcast. At the end of the day the platforms that have censored him are running a business. The users on those platforms especially the high profile ones play a big role in the perception of the business. So can we really fault these businesses for removing content that is perceived as bad for the business when these businesses were never marketing themselves as the "free speech" platform?
The president uses these platforms to communicate and they all have taken government money. So yes, it's a violation off free speech and the argument about private companies is null and void. Private companies also ran script scams on coalminers for many years until they woke up and fought with force and violence against the owners.
