If you’re going to go there, then what do you think of Maxine Waters comments? There are things I disagree with all the time in across the world and I choose to ignore it and focus my time with things appeal to my values. To be honest I never even heard of this until yesterday, I’m just a big Apple fan and hate to see them getting into political issues like this. I just want new tech that makes my life easier.
There is a difference between using a social media platform for promoting hateful and potentially violent rhetoric, and 'comments'. IT's not about free speech.
Apple, Facebook, Spotify, your child's nursery - have a set of rules. If someone runs riot on violating those rules they might need to answer to the consequences.That's what's happened here, and it's right from what I can gather.
Supposedly, free speech means that I can walk into your child's nursery and discuss inappropriate and corrupt 'opinions' with your 4 year old daughter. Because Free Speech. It doesn't make it right, and you would fully expect and be right behind the owners of that social place if they shut me down and probably get me arrested.
There are a lot of kids on Facebook [and the rest of the internet] and Facebook were right to take Jones down. Shouting that he doesn't mean it, or that it's all an act isn't enough. There are a magnitude of idiots in the world who can't tell the difference, and someone in [Jones'] position has to be able to know better, and act responsibly if there's even an oz of satire intended. If this is the case then he needs to polish up his act and serve it on a more adult targeted platform.
Sadly, that ship has sailed here. This isn't satire! It's just a guy chasing click bait and he's probably been sucked into his own silly vortex and actually believes the world he's created.
I suppose the real irony here is that in his own paranoid mind, everything that's happening to him (in the context of this article) is exactly what he'd predicted all along! He probably thinks that it's a conspiracy of conspiracies against him - the truth teller. But the fact is, he's just a nasty little man who couldn't work out how the internet worked, thought he was above moral responsibility, and royally screwed himself.
Fool.
