Re:Facebook shuts popular stock trading group amid GameStop ... by NoOneNew on Friday January 29, 2021 @09:28AM (#25957521)
Absolutely understand that position and I know (and can prove through my HN history) that I'm pretty crass as well. However, this issue comes to facebook using the sensitive speech arguement to shut them down. How many other groups are just as bad if you do a simple word search on their database? If they effectively shut down everyone and every group for the offense of saying dick immediately, fine. I'm okay with that. But arbitrarily doing so, especially when the group is hurting their financial overlords, that's where I call bullshit and stand by using that word. They got zero flak pre this short squeeze and their attitude and speech is no different. But they're embarrassing the folks who cry for gov bail outs. Focusing on them making offensive jokes is a red herring from wall street trying to cover their ass.
