Hear someone powerful told Musk off for being arrogant. :D
Hear it's about government's right to censor content they don't like. D:
It is a video of an Australian citizen being stabbed to death and they are doing it because they dont want the video to encourage other psychos to do the same thing.
I just want to recontextualize it because free speech warriors have a tendency to disambiguate the thing they are talking about.
Counterpoint: censoring these videos causes people to downplay their significance.
Heck, it makes it easier for "fake newsers" to say it never happened!
Did this guy do what he did because he saw a video of someone else doing the same thing?
Scientists have been begging news stations to not show name and picture of school shooters because every time they do there are copy cats. This has been statistically and psychologically well established for literally decades but people just ignore it because they want their violence porn.
This stabbing came one day after the high profile stabbing in the mall with a ton of video of the stabber. Was this guy inspired by the mall stabber? Who knows what lies in the heart of a person but we can make some pretty good guesses.
And in reference to the fake newsers. They will say it's fake anyway. There is no amount of evidence that is sufficient for them if there is an interest in denying it.
