Pro-Luigi Mangione content is filling up social platforms — and it's a challenge to moderate it
Luigi Mangione has drawn lots of defenders on social media. That's a challenge for platforms when it comes to moderation — and for users.

Why moderate?
The working class is under no obligation to mourn the deaths of those who are actively trying to kill them for profit.
There's a difference between not mourning a piece of shit and asking for the murder of his peers. The hypocrisy of oligarch-run media (social and traditional) is that they stop having an issue with murder if there's an Excel spreadsheet between the instigator and the victim.
Because this instance (and all other instances) physically reside in countries with content laws. If we don't follow those laws, we can be shut down, and the admin/owners that reside in those countries could face legal consequences.
Yeah, it's a pity that the laws appear to be protecting those the best, who are responsible for the most suffering - after all those have the power to get those laws written.
But that's the thing: there's a difference between 'legal' and 'legitimate/true' behaviour.
While I understand that lemmy instances (et al) have to adhere to legal behaviour, I hope that people adhere to legitimate/true behaviour.
Most people don't just randomly stumble into legitimate/true behavior. We're apes, we see something and then do. If it all gets moderated away, the chance for legitimate/true behavior drops dramatically.
I very much hope that action is the outcome of thorough consideration, although oftentimes I have doubts about that.
And still I think we have more up our sleeves than 'monkey see, monkey do' schemes.
Don't forget that capitalism is what you get when you don't regulate behavior.
Humans are shitty animals.
They meant "sensor".
You meant "censor"
You meant "silencer".
