RE: Will Microshaft Monitor Your ‘Hate Speech’, and then Ban You From Using Wørd?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Nice, thanks for your feedback!
I agree with allot of what you said.
This post was inspired by this article , in the article it says that :

"Digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) argues that MS hard-line policy stems from Congress passing two new sex trafficking bills. The Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and the Stop Enabling Sex-Trafficking Act (SESTA) holds platforms responsible for users’ speech, illegally shared content, and anything connected to sex trafficking."

So if they start to do this, it will be because of the new legislation. Yet, in Microshaft's code of conduct, they also mention offensive material, which could mean offensive speech, which may mean. They'll be going full SJW in no time. I guess we'll find out sooner or later, how companies react to those bills, and what if any extra powers it gives them.
