It's not popular nowadays to mention that people need to have self accountability, there's always apparently a website, service, game or social media platform to "blame" for the actions of the individual

Exactly and sites that profit off of hosting extremist content that radicalises terrorists need to be held accountable for their actions.

Extremist content- or calls to action?

I don't agree in legislating extremist speech unless it is a call to action

Why did you want them to build an echo chamber out of your space?

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't inherently oppose private platforms controlling who is allowed to comment- I oppose the government deciding certain beliefs are too radical to be allowed on any platform.

So? Nobody said the government should get involved here

Implies government led accountability.

Are you saying personal social accountability is not a thing?

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What do you mean by social accountability? But no I never said anything about it, I said it was heavily implied that they're talking about government created accountability.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

How is self accountability incompatible with systemic issues?
