From a risk management perspective, this does not seem like a safe assumption to make. The DailyStormer got "canceled" by vendors for not even trying to moderate content that actively promoted violence (among other horrible things). Now Parlor gets "canceled" by vendors for not doing a good enough job trying to moderate content promoting violence. The bar for getting "canceled" is already moving down and honestly any company that is hosting user-driven content needs to have a plan for how to make sure they stay below that bar. Part of that plan should be projected scenarios about how low the bar will go....
Part of what is really dicey here too is that the result of getting this calculation wrong is basically annihilation for your service (unless you think you can operate without "every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers"). The stakes are really high!
(Edited to fix my 'raise-the-bar' analogy)
It was literally a neo-nazi site.
Do you think the issues people had with it were somehow contrived, false, or overblown?
Why would you even bring that site up tbh?
Lol so far the bar is don’t let people plan a violent insurrection on your app.
Anyway I'm not sure why that means the state will have a rough time. It may mean they'll have an easier time, as they have a readily-available reason to arrest the protesters.
There, fixed that for ya :);)
And of writing maintainable and readable code that will last.
