Right. It seemed like a lot of people were giving Facebook flack for allowing the live stream. But that's like, almost impossible to stop. Deplatforming shit heels is easy, however."Please know we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage."
Riiight..because that is the problem.
He was inspired by the Norway psychopath that killed 80 kids.Just horrific news, and I have this terrible feeling that it's going to inspire copycats.
Granted, I'm not in NZ so don't know if this is referencing that - but every UK article I've come across has labelled this as a terror attack.
The problem is that this isn't a new thing. These services happily look the other way when it involves white nationalism. The only thing people can do is boycott them. Delete your Facebook and Twitter.
I might be parsing this incorrectly, but I think he's saying that PewDiePie and Candance Owens are awful (at least I hope he is), and that the shooter's manifesto seems to be riddled with red herrings
I agree about the authorities, but at the same time there's no denying that social media companies have opened up avenues to radicalization. It's easy to see how people, especially young people, get sucked into this rabbit hole. For example, YouTube recommended is often flooded with a shitload of alt right propaganda. Nothing is done about this, despite the repeated warnings. If authorities had any sense they would force them to take action.I think it's not up to the public, in the same way it's not up to the public to fight other domestic threats. These are not angry forum posters, these are criminal groups. It's not about developing strategies to defeat incels or regressive nerds in online debates, it's about jailing people before they hurt others.
The authorities absolutely need to make this a priority.
I dont understand, there are reports that the shooter visited Pakistan in October of last year and loved it and called the people there "The most earnest, kindhearted and hospitable people in the world", fuck me what happenned in 4 months , Im confused as all hell because I think the explanations that people were throwing early on the thread may not completely fit.

So the guy who says it should be bigger than videogames is making it about videogames.
My original reply stands.
Hoping no one takes the manifesto seriously. It seems like a sickening attempt to troll the left than anything else.
Goddamn sad when the POTUS makes a statement acting like he cares when you know he doesn't.

The victims are not just Muslims, but also Jews, immigrants, refugees, Blacks, Sikhs, Latinos & women (they really hate feminists). It's a zero sum absolutism. No grey area. Just like ISIS. These groups are rising in the US & Europe. They have mainstream elected messengers.
Absolutely agree. With the money they have, technical ability and emerging AI, there is no reason these videos should ever make it past the upload/link to be viewable.Facebook, Twitter and Google should be ashamed of themselves for not doing more to take down the videos. Absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable.
You misunderstood me.Oh we DO need to take it seriously. Especially this view that he was inspired by Candice Owens and thinks Donald Trump gave a helpful rise to white identity nationalism. If you put the manifesto as crackpot you are especially dismissing those. You need to take it seriously AND condemn at the same time. This view in the manifesto is shared by almost all white nationalists
At least hold these hosts responsible for the content their toxic users curate there, and with that reddit as well.It's time to shut 4chan and 8chan down.
Ignoring the problem isn't working.
are you dismissing the threat of whtie nationalism because white nationalists like memesYou misunderstood me.
I don't think anyone here should look too deeply into the manifesto. It's a pro white manifesto. It's also stacked with memes, and jokes.
So I hope no one is trying to figure out how Spyro inspired his ethno nationalism.
