Current Affairs Social Media and Censorship

[davek]

Dave you suggesting we go China?

Dave please don’t say you’ve jus suggested mass censorship?

What do you think the minorities in this country think about censorship when they’re being killed and silenced?

No. not mass censorship. Just fast and efficient administration of these platforms.

That would cost though; employing an army of capable people able to exercise judgement. It's a hell of an undertaking, which is why it's "light touch" and looks like the wild west a lot of the time.

Social media is the problem and shouldn’t exist.

Twitter and Facebook are for attention seekers, you don’t have to read it.
Your life will be better without it.

Thats why we are a bit tittish about streams being posted; quite simply, we are not sure if we/Dan would be responsible for breaking rulez or not, and cant afford to find out.

I have admin'd/ modded forums before and there is nothing to think about.


From the CPS 2019 cybercrime prosecution guidelines https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/cybercrime-prosecution-guidance


The internet may be used to distribute, share or make available pirated music, films, games or other items in the following ways:

• Streaming live sports matches, or concerts, out to audiences directly over the internet, without permission; and

However, when considering a case involving the trading of illegal goods online, it is advisable to consider charges against individuals 'selling', or facilitating the selling of objects online,


If you have a direct link posted on the forum to an illegal stream you are facilitating the infringement.


Make sure there are no direct links posted, ask users to use the post report button to let you know if any do appear, that way you are showing reasonable care in keeping the site legal.

There is only so much you can do and the powers that be (generally) appreciate this fact providing you are seen to be (and are) doing what you can.

I've ran them for a while as well and there's no doubt.

No streams.

We remove streams that are shared.
