Instagram Is the Internet’s New Home for Hate • Page 2

Improve society by deactivaitng your accounts, punkers

 

shouldn't you deactivate your account here, then

 

Jason Tate's blog website with his hivemind friends is more toxic than these social media sites they love mocking. Imagine if this website ever took off or he made an app. God no.

 

Considering Facebook owns IG, this isn't surprising at all. Mark Zuckerberg needs to get his shit together. This type of shit is always going to exist in some form on the internet sadly. Hopefully articals like this act as catalysts for fixing as much as can be fixed. However, we as parents and adults need to inform the younger generations of this type of click bait and false information that can be spread so they can learn to avoid it. It's a critical skill that is needed in this day and age and it's best to learn young.

 

This thread is reminding me why I’m glad I got off Twitter. Lol

 

Oh man, he got you so good @Wharf Rat he stole your avatar. How will you ever recover!???

 

Website #1: Jews, gay people, all non-white people, and women should die.

Website #2: Uh, bigotry is bad.

Smart person: WEBSITE TWO IS SO MUCH WORSE AND OPPRESIVE. #HIVEMIND

 

Lol. As someone whose core beliefs are a major outlier from most people on this site, this is so untrue.

 

Bigfoot - real/fake/or a whole population of bigFEET?

 

"bigfoot" are actually a separate species intelligent humanoid that humanity once lived in concert with, but eventually defeated in a brutal war which included use of biomemetic weapons which turned them into the animals we know today

 

See above comment.

 

Anyway, I've always been fairly hesitant with social media. I had a Twitter and I guess I still do but I use it extremely infrequently. Never had a FB. Finally made an insta cause someone here LITERALLY forced me to!!! But it's private and I'm not interesting enough to get hate lol. So staying in my lil corner having things set private and not engaging much has worked for me. Tho social media is so intertwined with branding and many lines of work now that I wish it was a more positive place for people who have a harder time opting out or still want to connect with others but avoid the bs

 

I think that's also called "mainstream media" or at least it sounds like a lot of the coverage that conventional newspapers and TV networks give for social media.

 

the power that social media companies have amassed via data collection is huge & they consistently show that they aren’t responsible enough to handle it, but yeah go off cuz you can use instagram to post cute dog pics!

 

CNN: Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg calls for more regulation of the internet.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/30/tech/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-regulation/index.html

I'm not sure if this is the best thread for this link but it looks like this is the last post related to social media and hate speech and such. I just want to say that it's interesting that Zuckerberg comes out and calls for more government regulation in a Washington Post op-ed like two or three days after Facebook makes a big announcement about not allowing white nationalist posts and comments on their site.

I agree with the intent of that but it looks like that's being followed up immediately with an appeal to the government to provide more oversight and regulation. Facebook and other social media companies could then be even less personally less responsible to develop their own policies which one would hope would be a model for smaller social media networks and internet forums and content providers to follow.

Or, as Gizmodo put it:

It depends on who you follow. I follow celebrity that motivate, the ones that I can follow and maybe one day I'll become like they

 

I think that it all depends on that fact, on which exact channels you have been subscribed, isn't it? Some channels simply make money there and they simply want to get more followers as well, because of it.
