>It's about illegal threats of violence. Those were against the law long before anyone ever used the term "hate speech."
the illegal threats of violence are always removed as soon as possible from KF, just as they are on every other site. what exactly is the difference here?
edit: I'm rate limited; there is (or now, was) a point-by-point rebuttal to the "KF bullied people to suicide" claims on the front-page. tldr it's a false narrative, there's no evidence anyone killselfed because of their KF thread. would you like to know more? too bad, you can't, because the site is down so you can't read it.
the "counter" / "KF kill count" / etc is a running site joke; it's not a joke about actually bullying people to suicide, it's a joke about the unfounded reputation of the site itself; part of the punchline is that everyone in the in-group knows that the number is zero but the out-group thinks it's in the dozens. get it? well I guess it's not that funny when I explain the joke, but then no joke is, right?
KF does not promote terrorism or violence.
You mean after they ruin people's lives?
Obviously they posed enough of a threat to human lives that a publicly traded company would distance them immediately.
Doesn't take much to figure this out. This is not some censorship or content moderation.
It appears people have trouble distinguishing between platforms that promote terrorism/violence vs free speech.
This weird extreme idealistic version of freedom of speech doesn't include harming humans or threatening peace.
The big counter celebrating the number of people they've harassed into committing suicide? People have gone to jail for it. CF should be the least of their concerns right now.
