hypochondriac

Given the way football is now, wouldn't be the worse thing in the world. Probably won't happen but has to be better than under Gao.

Anil Bhanot is probably dirty Tory supporting scum though so it's probably nothing.

It's a tap in for the Hindus at the back post. 3-1.

Big shock.

Can someone take the time to listen and just let us know the relevant information. Can't be bothered to listen to all of that.

The point I was making is soggy in particular but also others have almost no posts about antisemitism without talking about Conservative islamaphobia. What that doesn't do is discuss the very real problems and the possible solutions, it just looks like avoidance of the issue or downplaying.

Archbishop has also criticised Corbyn. 2-1. See we can all play this game.

I accept the apology. Glad to see you're not quite as reactionary as your post seemed.

Fair enough. I'm happy to engage with the issues from both sides provided we leave whatabouttery out of it which seems difficult to do for some.

Lazy racist stereotype? He's quoting his lyrics you ninny. Considering that a lazy racist stereotype means you would have to engage in the absolute worst type of bad faith reading possible. I know you consider yourself balanced and politically neutral but maybe take a step back and realise that you sound mental and the worst type of faux offended twitter user. Anyone who would pretend to be offended or consider that type of thing an astonishing error of judgement won't be voting Conservative anyway so I doubt he gives a toss anyway.

It's a bit cringe and Michael gove is a bit of a berk but astonishing error of judgement? Come on that's ridiculous.

What are you talking about?

Are you deliberately exaggerating things in an effort to minimise the very real concern that an enormous number of Jews in the UK are feeling about Corbyn potentially becoming Prime Minister? Combined with the Falconer comment, how unfortunate that a deficit of leadership has led to this shameful situation and Jews have my utmost sympathy in this regard. I went to a bat mitzvah a couple of weeks ago with some family friends and the concern they are feeling is very real.

Shadow banning means your post is visible to your account but not to anyone else including your followers so you don't realise its been banned. I'm sure it also happens on Facebook. It's the definition of content suppression.

Looks like the man charged with investigating antisemitism in the Labour Party considers criticism by the Rabbi to be "justified" yet you were dismissing it on the basis that he made some supportive comments of Boris once. Fair to say his criticism has some validity?

Probably just a raging tory like the Archbishop and the Rabbi.

Maybe we should take a leaf out of the Australian government's book and create a facial recognition database for those who wabt to access any content that isn't for children: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/31/australian-government-proposes-facial-recognition-system-verify/ Nothing dystopian about that at all!

To be fair, not sure about Facebook but it's provable on twitter- and as I said they've admitted to doing it. If you look at metrics and engagements of tweets and a popular account on twitter has so many hundreds of engagements and comments for every tweet and then suddenly has a big dip for a particular tweet then it's pretty clearly been surpressed or shadow banned.

That definitely happens and shadow banning on twitter for example is used routinely (and they have them on camera admitting it.)

Yep and it's a concern when companies become so big that they become akin to the public square. If you get kicked off twitter, YouTube and Facebook then essentially you've become unpersoned and much harder to communicate with and that should be a cause for concern for everyone if they value freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas.

Unfortunately there are aggressive idiots on all sides of the political spectrum who make fools of themselves. Take this guy for instance: "Go to a White Country." Hmm... Good of the campaigner filming to stay so composed.

"Deal with the issues, don't deflect" says the poster who literally just ignored the words of the chief Rabbi and the Archbishop of Canterbury by suggesting they are Tory stooges. Maybe try and practice what you preach a bit and you'd earn a bit more respect.

In conclusion, it's easy to wag your finger about naughty words said on the Internet but I'm yet to hear from anyone an idea for how to moderate information that doesn't lead to mass censorship and an unprecedented amount of power being handed to either tech companies or governments.

What standards would these companies use to moderate content? Are you suggesting that a social media company should be banned if it fails to recognise a user in Manchester using a Vpn to appear as if they are in texas and then writing something racist? How could they possibly manage that?
