  • Something that I read yesterday, which I thought was an interesting idea, is to have laws similar to that for stock exchanges, where trading can be suspended at times of high volatility. The idea being that you temporarily suspend the service if there is civil unrest.

  • Turning off news, media and information channels when there is civil unrest seems… troublesome.

  • yeah I struggle to see how that is a "fair approach" when we have plenty of examples worldwide of this exact thing being used for repression

  • Social media companies have a responsibility to moderate their platforms and remove illegal content. The onus is very much on them to do this, but if they don’t, then what should happen? A forced outage is a big step but they have to take their responsibilities seriously.
