Social media posts inciting hate and division have “real world consequences” and there is a responsibility to regulate content, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, insisted on Friday, following Meta’s decision to end its fact-checking programme in the United States.

    the only time I’m willing to accept it is if it’s somehow actively harmful

    Oh, like the dissemination of propaganda originating from the troll farms of hostile powers? Good idea.

      Harmful meaning things like harassment (defined as continued and targeted use of speech intended to harass an individual) or credible threats of violence (i.e. a threat to kill a specific individual, attack an area, etc).

      Harmful doesn’t mean “ideas I don’t like.”
