Trump plans to create his own social network
After the ban on Twitter and the subsequent raids of big tech on alternative platforms, Trump decided to create his own social network. Uncensored, with blackjack and whores. it turns out that Trump's social network, proudly called "Pravda", bans users no worse than the blasphemous leftist Twitter. Banned for criticizing Trump, as well as for mentioning the hearings on the storming of the Capitol. At the same time, there was neither blackjack nor whores on Trump's social network - all adult content was banned there in principle. Seems to be looking more and more like a Puritan Facebook than a Libertine Twitter (Twitter's only plus point). However, what did you expect from conservative rednecks?
One can simply state that, as expected, the Trumpists turned out to be hypocrites who, under the sauce of freedom of speech, are simply trying to build their big tech with the opposite sign. This, of course, is all true. But it's obviously not just that. It's funny, but "conservative" content also falls under the distribution of moderation - some posts about the benefits of weapons, links to braybart and for some reason criticism of Zelensky ("Zelensky is a deepstate agent!"). It just goes to show that when you have enough users, moderation becomes a non-trivial task. There will be moderator arbitrariness, and brainless AI with a banhammer at the ready. And as a result - crowds whining about censorship, bans and shadowbans.
How to avoid it? Nothing. This is just the reality of the Internet sites. Or you don't have moderation - and everything turns into a garbage dump. Or there is moderation, with which there will inevitably be problems. There is no ultimatum solution here - it is impossible to create a utopian platform that will suit everyone, where there will be "truth", "freedom" and a little bit of order at the same time. Let me you that I had a detailed video where I talked about the American law ("Section 230"), which guaranteed freedom to social networks and created the current Internet, as well as why both Trump and Biden equally want to end this law.
