    These “ automated mods” being used by Reddit, Threads, among the many other social media forums have basically ruined their own intended purpose of allowing Free Speech for the masses! Basically useless overmoderated garbage, while posting murder, suicides, hate and death on their sites and expecting us to stay political correct! HYPOCRITES!

    Content mods ONLY care about advertiser revenue and will bend over for every dollar. If hosting this gets clicks they’ll do it. This isn’t the face they’ll make.

      Recently became aware of advertising companies restricting their ads from being shown next to artwork of two characters kissing, it’s insane. Freedom on the internet is now threatened by ad agencies. They are actively monitoring peoples artwork for this…

    Do the stations have to broadcast it? Can’t they just say ‘we think it is reprehensible to turn an execution into a public spectacle’?

      No. They will have an open and shut case under the first amendment to choose not to broadcast. We still largely have the freedom of speech in this country, such as it is.

      We’d really like it if all of your affiliate stations would broadcast this. It would be a shame if your license renewal got held up in review.

      Yes, but the people running the FCC are petty and will punish them for it. Still, it’s an obvious PR win to take a morale stand over this.

      A drag queen is somewhere nearby! Quick, distract your children with this family friendly, televized execution by firing squad!

      Phew, that was close! Those kids almost got traumatized by seeing something inappropriate!

        I don’t think that addresses the question. At least not the question that led me to go “huh?” when I saw this.

        Which is that…yeah, the US is going to be murdering a dude on livestream. But what has that got to do with “content mods” who now “have to host” a video?

          Where you think this going be live stream from? Broadcast Tv? No this will be on Twitch, YouTube etc. Hence the words live streamed.

            Nothing I have seen has said anyone will be “forced” to host it. They’ll find some platform that is specifically willing to promote fascism.

              They’ll find some platform that is specifically willing to promote fascism.

              So almost every major social media platform and probably a handful of streaming platforms?

                Sure, maybe. Still doesn’t change the fact that nobody has yet presented (or even attempted to present) an explanation for the bizarre description in the post.

                  It’s not that bizarre, you’re just splitting hairs over the precise wording of a meme you’ve decided to take way too seriously.

                  With this adminstration the “or else” is implied.

                  So they either accept that they have to host Hegseth’s murder porn, or else the orange man will find a way to make them suffer.

              Yes, because Google and Amazon are such staunch opponents of fascism that they’ll need to be forced.

            Pretty sure they could just stream a webcam to the white house website without a video sharing platform needing to be involved.

              Yeah but they aren’t going want to do that way. They either want the major network to do it streaming services. We don’t even know weather they are going want to charge for it yet.

              No yeah, this is nonsense. Just as nonsense as the last nonsense thing… that happened. And the one before that. And the one before that. And the one before that. And the one before that. And the…

              Like at some point you have to realize there is no depth to which the world won’t sink

              Look back at the last 10 years

              If you told someone from 10 years ago how the world looked like now, would they believe you? Or call it nonsense and call you and idiot for believing it?
