I can't walk the fine legal line of allowing people to say they want an entire group to be killed.
I'm not a lawyer so I don't know exactly what is legal or not when someone says a group should be killed. So i'm gonna remove stuff like that. It's not worth it to me.
Gday
Do you consider calls for Abortion , Multi Racialism , Mass Migration and Diversity and Race Mixing
The actual Truth, which is White Murder , White Genocide, White Replacement and White Displacement
race mixing is killing people
If someone doesn't want to have sex with you, it's not really genocide against your family. Toughen up, pussy.
lol, what a response
You can say retarded shit like that because its protected speech. As long as its not calling action to harm a group. That can get the site taken down.
Absolutely bro. Its not right to make the owner of the site liable for possibly expensive legal trouble.
not a lawyer either but at the end of ruqqus they were commenting that illegal speech on this topic must have the characteristics of the brandenberg case: https://infogalactic.com/info/Brandenburg_v._Ohio
The Court held that government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is directed to inciting, and is likely to incite, imminent lawless action.
So it sounds like there needs to be a specific threat announced, like a person will harm a specific person or group in a specific place at a specific time.
So it sounds like it is legal to say a person wishes a person or group would die. It sounds like it is not ok to say they are going to attack a specific person or place on a specific date with a specific weapon.
I don't have the legal funds to defend lawsuits like that. And I don't know how to draw that line exactly. Who defines what counts as a time and place? It's much easier to just say I will delete anyone saying " A group should be killed". They could easily rephrase that as "I wish that group were not here" .
If someone wants to donate a layer and legal fees I can maybe push that line further.
that's fine, was just adding what I thought I understood things to be
just make sure people are aware of the rules and update them if needed, I thought you already said basically to avoid violent speech because it can be hard to know where the line is
How will you manage to enforce this when the userbase is too big for you to read everything ? Automated bots can be worked around.
Platforms like Aether where messages disappear after time, are legally immune from this.
Wish the laws were better and responsibility was on who makes the statement rather than the platform
All I have to do in America is make an effort to remove illegal content to be protected as far as I am aware. It does not have to be immediate and generally user reports will help.
Ah, so that's why my comment about killing negroids was removed. But I wasn't threatening to do it, I just said that I think it would be great if that happened.
So what do you think will happen? Some blackie riding on welfare checks will get offended and sue you?
One step closer to full censorship I see.
I'm not running a 100% censorship free platform, i'm running a platform that is designed to make censorship harder. if you have 12% a month and 15$ a year I will show you how to run your own instance and you can make your own rules. I can't take the risk to host content like that. To many feds posting shit

Straight up illegal stuff needs to be a hard line. Isn't like we aren't on fediverse so genocidalists can make ilovegenocise.com

true. I'll gladly help them set up their own instance so they don't fill mine up with death threats.
