Why does social media give ISIS a platform?

[Ravi]

Why don't Twitter, Youtube, etc., just refuse to host them?

Those sites get hits off those videos.

Not a good enough reason.

I know, they just shouldn't show the videos. That said, banning those sites will not stop the sites overseas from showing it.

Perhaps. I am ready to boycott all social media and I think we all should to force them to stop showing this crap and using it to recruit.

Probably for the same reason this place allows terrorist supporters to post.

It's a drawback to freedom.

you take the good with the bad or admit you don't want to be free.

Why do radio stations broadcast Lush Rimjob? Why does the TV and internet news focus on disaster and conflict?

What posts 2 and 4 said. After all they're not in business to help the human race.

I'd join you in the boycott but I don't do that crap as it is. I've never figured out why Twitter and Nosebook even exist, let alone what they publish.

Btw isn't this a Media thread?

Interesting. So we should have let Hitler speak to the American public during WW2?

ISIS is covered by our constitution?

If that's Lonestar logic....

The Constitution doesn't say a business can't control content. It says the government can't.

And why not?

Listening to Stalin got the American people to see that he was nuts and not our ally

Free speech is. I'm pretty sure the bill of rights doesn't specify that speech must originate in any particular place.

No one suggested it did.

My point is that as a typical liberal, Ravi wants to silence (censor) what she doesn't like. If a person doesn't like what they see on social media, then they should excise their right to not engage in social media. But that would be too easy.

Speech isn't guaranteed a platform.

How does social media justify giving terrorists a platform?

That's what I said. I said I will boycott them and the rest of us should as well.

They probably justify it in the name of free speech. Have you tried asking them?
