It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I am talking about the Rwandan genocide that happened in the 1990s. Never heard Tories affiliated at all. I did think it was a horrible situation though.

It is Rwanda in another context than the answer you gave.

It was about asylum centers in Rwanda.

Oh, never heard of them.
Of course there should be limits. The problem I see with what's being proposed in the video is that the person speaking is saying, "Don't worry about what the limits are, you can just trust us to figure all that out for you", and apparently on a case-to-case basis. You can see why that would be a problem right?
It's like having a traffic law that just says, "Don't drive too fast" instead of posting an actual speed limit. A law like that would be way too subject to biased and lopsided enforcement.
Edit: not to mention a recipe for overenforcement and all kinds of other abuses.

It's been investigated and researched from many angles. We even see it in England now where misinformation spread on social media is leading to violence. It

I am not hating anybody, I just asked you a simple question.

Which she felt unable to explain to me and instead raised the subject of hate. Funny how a discussion about unrest seems to change people.
But thanks for the info mikkel.
Seems like a complex correlation / causation problem.
That said, I'm no fan of misinformation, but censorship is not a good solution. Censorship is perhaps the most dangerous solution.

Yeah, you are the only one to decide that for all of the world. Or really not!

More dangerous than misinformation that has led to genocide? Yes, it is censorship. But it's censoring a twaked out version of shouting fire in a crowded theater (can't do that because someone actually did do it and it got a lot of people hurt and some killed).
And it's not as complex as it seems. For years now social media has been the epicenter of violence inducing misinformation. This has been observed time and time and time again. People hear it and have their views affirmed on social media.
The rest is more complicated than just following the news. A part of it is a for profit corporation doing what they do in modern America, and this exploiting human emotion for gain. This is where their algorithms are problematic because it's these algorithms that are promoting material that sells, material thaylt exploits human psychology to the max. The rest of the issues are well known to even students of psychology, sociology and anthropology. Group thought, moral outrage, mob behaviors and hundreds of thousands of years of evolution that still has us all deferring towards tribalism and the need to fit in and be accepted by our tribes. Amd it's just as true today as it was thousands of years ago, after someone casts the first stone its suddenly easier for everyone else to join in the killing.

I didn't hate on anyone for the record.

Oh one more thing - I am super busy. You know, with real life and all that. That is the only reason why I didn't fully explain my response to you. Silly me, I thought a general response would be sufficient.

No one said that you did. But your comment certainly implied, without any reason, that I did.
Tell me, who is smart enough, moral enough, to decide for you, what you cannot listen to?

Here's what I said:
Anyway, it's a pretty obscure thread and I freely admit that I haven't been all that attuned to it.

Whoops I got it wrong would have been sufficient. There was no need to bring up hate.
For the sake of discussion I can grant you all of that, and you still haven't made your point.
Might there be economic considerations? Could it be that people's basic needs aren't being met? Could it be that watching mother earth being destroyed plays a part? What if knowing that your children will never be able to afford a home has some impact?
How do you eliminate all of these (and countless other concerns), to arrive at the conclusion that social media is THE culprit?
And again, I despise social media. I think it's extremely dangerous, and that humans probably aren't evolved enough to handle it safely. And with all that said, I still think censorship is worse.

Well, I don't have to listen to incitement to violence in countries, where that is consider illegal.
The actual answer I can't give because you only accept objective, true, logical, with evidence answers. Apparently because you subjectively don't like subjective answers, when there are no objective ones possible.
