![↑ [Discussion] Should the limits of speech on the internet be decided by a handful of CEOs? (self.Kotakul Action) submitted 6 minutes ago by Namrok More and more lately, I see this same argument. "Reddit/Twitter/Facebook is a privately owned company. You are using it for free. They can permit or disallow whatever they want." It's hard to argue against such a myopic view. It's technically true But let me ask you this. In the 21st century, do we want the limits of speech decided by a handful of CEOs? Do we want to surrender truly free speech to platform holders only? We haven't just seen FatPeopleHate and other distasteful subreddits vanish. Weve seen a lot of legitimate research, critique and news vanish down the memory hole too. Individual subreddits have their unequally applied sort of true from a certain point of view reasons for vanishing articles their community clearly wants to discuss. But when they appear on other subreddits, they still vanish off rlall once the admins in San Francisco wake up in the morning. And using their media connections, I've seen almost every tech page I read cover this negatively I have never in my life seen the news defend a CEO which takes over a company, horribly misunderstands it's customers and culture, and runs it into the ground. Ever. It's entirely unprecedented. But they are defending Ellen Pao on blatantly ideological grounds, and it disgust me I can't believe my generation, the one that grew up with unfettered free speech on the wild west of the internet, grew up and went "We've outgrown offensive speech, now nobody else should get to enjoy it either." 4 comments share all 4 comments sorted by: best ▼ H sscat [score hidden] 3 minutes ago F--- no! The news media is the old guard, they want the internet destroyed so you come crawling back to them to watch/read their stuff. They want the internet dead and gone forever permalink H TheMindUnfettered Grand Poobah of GamerGate [score hidden] 2 minutes ago But let me ask you this. In the 21st century, do we want the limits of speech decided by a handful of CEOs? Do we want to surrender truly free speech to platform holders only? What alternative do you propose? The trend is for social interaction to concentrate on a few platforms, which means that the p who control those platforms are going to control social interaction. This is nothing new, really. Every time a platform becomes toxic, people just move onto a new one. Digg -> Reddit. eople reifenstag [score hidden] a minute ago wow, if only someone could think up an idea of a free market where people could choose to support or protest the companies they want to by using or boycotting them..](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/977/798/639.png "Discussion about how free speech should be handled")
