Web Censorship and Political Bias



Promoting Hate Based on Identity or Vulnerability
Rule 1: Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.
Marginalized or vulnerable groups include, but are not limited to, groups based on their actual and perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or disability. These include victims of a major violent event and their families.
While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.
Some examples of hateful activities that would violate the rule:
  • Subreddit community dedicated to mocking people with physical disabilities.
  • Post describing a racial minority as sub-human and inferior to the racial majority.
  • Comment arguing that rape of women should be acceptable and not a crime.
  • Meme declaring that it is sickening that people of color have the right to vote.
Additionally, when evaluating the activity of a community or an individual user, we consider both the context as well as the pattern of behavior.

CBS is pushing that race war hard. Notice the "white couple" part. Also "protesters" who protested by damaging and trespassing on private property. Couple were supposedly Bernie supporters also interestingly enough.
 
anyone complaining about the_donald being banned never read it. Their new site's upcoming merger with stormfront should be interesting though
 
Sighs. I hate typing on here with a phone.
 
Hypocrisy Abounds as Corporations Participating in the Facebook Boycott are Still Advertising On Russian Social Networks

Corporations got together to provide a massive virtue signal by agreeing to boycott Facebook. According to the agreement put together by left-wing groups such as the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League, corporations would cease advertising on Facebook in response to Facebook allegedly allowing hate speech on its platform.

They called it the #StopHateForProfit campaign. Many corporations caved to the pressure and announced that they would be pausing advertising on Facebook. This included Coca-Cola, Adidas, Nike, Starbucks, and more.

What do they consider hate speech?

Many things said by President Donald Trump for one. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg refused to take down posts by Trump. There is also complaints that they allowed the right-leaning Daily Caller to be a fact-checker.

However, corporations are continuing to prove that they donโ€™t really care about social causes, they just care about making money and pretending to care about whatever cause theyโ€™re demanded to care about in order to keep their bottom line intact.

As the Washington Free Beacon reported, various companies are still advertising on Russiaโ€™s social media network โ€œVK.โ€ Why is this bad? Because VK gives a platform to actual hate groups, not just people and organizations the left labels as โ€œhate groupsโ€:
But many of these companiesโ€”including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Adidas, and Reebokโ€”have been regular advertisers on VK, a popular Russian media website used by many white supremacists and neo-Nazis who have been banned from Facebook. Several of these companies continue to have a marketing presence on the Russian website, raising questions about their recent concern about โ€œhate speechโ€ on social media sites.

VKโ€™s popularity among white supremacists and neo-Nazis has been documented for years by media outlets and watchdog groups.

Even as they remain mum on VKโ€™s laissez-faire attitude toward online hate speech, major companies have pulled ads from Facebook for not policing speech on its own site.​
The list of corporations still advertising on VK while they release statements supporting the boycott and preaching about hate includeโ€ฆ:
Many of the companies that joined the Facebook boycott continue to market their products and brands in posts on their VK pages, including Starbucks, Ford, Unilever, Colgate, Vans, The North Face, and Patagonia. On July 2, two days after joining the Facebook ad boycott, Colgate ran a promotion on VK offering prizes to members who purchased its products and used the VK app to scan the product code.

Coca-Cola has run advertising campaigns on VK, including a controversial 2016 ad in which the company included the disputed territories of Crimea and the Kuril Islands on a map of Russia. Pepsi has also been an advertiser on the site and reportedly collaborated with VK on a payment app in 2018. Both still have an active presence on the platform.​
It needs to be understood that these corporations donโ€™t really care about the causes they glob onto. Not generally anyway. As Iโ€™ve explained in greater detail, many corporations are simply looking for easy PR points and virtue signaling is an easy way to go about getting them.
