Facebook is planning to add a new feature to Instagram that’s supposed to protect users from “bullying” (https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/instagram-s-anti-bullying-feature-warns-users-if-they-re-n1027521).
Read the linked-to article carefully: betcha can’t find any definition of “bullying.”
All right, logic and reason are racist or something, I shouldn’t be using them–but what do these guys mean by “bullying”? I have heard from left-wing losers who say any dissent from their position constitutes “violence.” Not very rigorous in their use of language, are they?
So Facebook is going to make it possible to mute online “bullies,” whatever they are, without them knowing they’ve been muted.
Why do I suspect their definition of “bullying” would include, oh, supporting President Trump, making fun of Democrats, disagreeing that two parties of the same sex constitute a marriage, not buying into “transgender”… The list could go on all morning.
Complete the sentence and win a tin foil hat: “I trust the social media platform owners to be fair and honest because __________.”
Scary creep to more enablement of big tech company censoring people
All for our own good, of course!
And they are the big brother who supposedly knows better….
