>We know that many believe that KF is uniquely awful, so that it is justifiable to take measures against them that we wouldn’t condone against anyone else. The thing is, that argument doesn’t square with reality, online or offline. Crossing the line to Tier 1 blocking won’t just happen once.
>To put it even more simply: When a person uses a room in a house to engage in illegal or just terrible activity, we don’t call on the electric company to cut off the light and heat to the entire house, or the post office to stop delivering mail. We know that this will backfire in the long run. Instead, we go after the bad guys themselves and hold them accountable.
like 99% of kf is just reposting and archiving what other people have done online and in real life. why does it matter if it is compiled in one place for archival and discussion.
what they primarily archive and discuss are activities that most people consider to be abhorrent and disgusting behavior. why not go after the abhorrent and disgusting people instead of the people documenting their actions.
"Wow, get over it you huge pussy" is the thought I had when I was first introduced to the anti-cyberbullying initiatives when I was a kid and it's the one I still have today. And I was a kid who was more likely to be bullied than to be doing any kind of bullying.
@RustyCrab@dew_the_dew@bot@Hoss >According to one study published by JAMA, young people exposed to cyberbullying are at a 50% increased risk of suicidal thoughts than their peers. Another recent study showed that children and young adults who experience cyberbullying are more than twice as likely to harm themselves and display suicidal behavior.
