    Mangione has been charged with first-degree murder “in furtherance of terrorism,” which may clarify things for platforms about whether to consider him as a single accused murderer or an alleged terrorist when it comes to content policy.

    Convict him of that shit first, otherwise you’re just allowing the government to dictate moderation policies. He’s only being charged with terrorism so the state can murder him. I’m not saying anti-terror policies are bad in general, but this is abuse of the system.

      The fact that Luigi has not been convicted seems to be being treated as an irrelevant technicality by the media in this matter. Interesting given how scrupulous they usually are in dropping “alleged” everywhere.

        Too bad Luigi isn’t a cop, then they might have given him a slap on the wrist and a description of events in the media that read “last night the trigger of Luigi’s self defense weapon caused ignition in the barrel which resulted in a bullet being ejected at high speed. Healthcare provider and loyal family man Brian Thomson was tragically caught in the path of the (*several) bullets. Authorities are investigating the bullets to determine their motive”

      They won’t change that stance. I’m sure it’s a direct order from Rupert Murdoch or one of the other five people that owns all news media here.

      They want to shut it down bc they don’t want anyone thinking about all of the harm they’ve caused in their pursuit of wealth.

      I think that’s what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to manipulate how this particular memeplex is being circulated from person to person as an information control measure. They don’t want this idea catching on.

      IANAL, this is not legal advice

      “Terrorism” has a wide meaning, as in any action that may instill fear in some target.

      Texting your ex that “I’m at your address with a knife with your name on it”, is condidered terrorism. Shooting your neighbor’s dog as a “message” to your neighbor, is considered terrorism. Murdering a CEO with a message to other CEOs and anyone working in an entire industry, is considered terrorism.

      If BLM people played their cards right, they probably could sue many instances of racial profiling for terrorism.

        I don’t think it is in any sane country. IANAL though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        You think when these journalists keep expressing “confusion” about why the public loves Luigi, are they just pretending to not understand? Or perhaps they’re so fucking cooked that they can’t see things from the perspective of the class that they’re in?

    Hopefully this shit backfires on the platforms like fuckin crazy.

      Doesn’t look like it. My impression at least is that the whole story has mostly died down already in the frenzied news and social media landscape. The chaos and carnage of the upcoming Trump administration will dominate the news for the foreseeable future and do the rest. There will be a brief uptick in attention during the trial, but that’s about the most I would expect.

        If Luigi lives that long. We have a betting pool at work going that gives it 5:1 that he’ll be a Texas suicide.

    “This enforcement began in the immediate aftermath of the incident, as part of our standard practice to address content related to violent tragedies.”

    Tragedy is a strong word.
