Much as I hate this walling shit stain, she isn't wrong here. All this quick "let's ban controversial or problematic users" led to the obvious outcome that these users went elsewhere, and elsewhere were propaganda places where they got indoctrinated even worse than they already were to begin with
Don't worry she's wrong af.
Storm front went online in 1990 and Liberty Net was created in 1984.
Also she's a grown ass woman who is old enough (born 1993) to know that pre-social media verifiable sources exist.
For a sec, I thought you were making a the boys reference and it threw me off.
I haven't seen the boys but if it's influenced online vernacular than maybe I am? If I did it was unintentional.
There's a character that was a "supe" back in the day, married to a Nazi scientist that gave her the powers. Then when the allies won, she came to America and came out as "liberty". Scandal hit, and she disappeared for decades, but came back, changing her identity to "storm front".
I see what they did there.
Wasn't she banned from those social media platform and a bunch of other apps because she was a hateful and racist piece of shit already?
Banning an extremist doesn't make that person less extreme. What it DOES do is close up the pipeline.
If you kick extremists off of large scale platforms, they won't have large scale platforms to do their outreach and recruiting. Reducing their reach to obscure forums doesn't make them dissapear, but it means random people who might lean that wat are much less likely to find them.
Stormfront will always be full of people who agree with stormfront. Bur their user base is a tiny fraction of what Twitter has. A nazi on twitter can reach billions of people and create more nazis. A nazi on Stormfront is just preaching to the choir.
Also, for the record, Laura got kicked off of everywhere because she was already an extremist.
