There's a lot of new terminology bouncing around in these
cases,
and just out of curiosity.
And one of them is content moderation.
Could you define that for me?
So you know what? Content moderation to me is just
editorial discretion.
It's a way to take the,
the, the all of the content that is potentially posted
on the site,
exercise editorial discretion in order to make it less offensive
to users and advertisers.
Is it? Is it anything more than a euphemism for
censorship?
If I just ask you this,
if somebody in 1917 was prosecuted and thrown in jail
for opposing US participation in World War One,
was that content moderation?
So if the government's doing it,
then content moderation might be a euphemism for censorship.
If a private party is doing it,
content moderation is a euphemism for editorial discretion.
And there's a fundamental difference between the two.
