Dear @RonanFarrow: should tech execs also remove anything advocating violence by US, Israel & allies, or is that OK?http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/07/10/farrow-why-arent-youtube-facebook-and-twitter-doing-more-to-stop-terrorists-from-inciting-violence/?hpid=z11 …
Ronan Farrow.@ggreenwald Do you not think the world should have jammed the Rwanda broadcasts? This is about direct incitement in sectarian powder kegs.

@RonanFarrow Please answer my question first, but for yours: no, I don't want private corps deciding what political speech is OK. -
@ggreenwald: I distinguish between calls to murder ethnic group & combative political speech. And would never countenance censoring latter. - Show more

@RonanFarrow If you're going to make this argument, you have to address things like this- https://twitter.com/nickastew/status/487569527799308288 … - or US calls to bomb Iran - Show more

@RonanFarrow Why not use the Brandenberg test? "Inicitement to imminent lawless action", and likely to result in it.@ggreenwald -
@ggreenwald Yes, there are good arguments for banning, since it explicitly advocates violence against identifiable persons.@RonanFarrow -
@gautambhatia88 I'd really like to hear@RonanFarrow call for Facebook & Twitter to ban Israelis who call for violence against Gazans then. - Show more

@RonanFarrow@ggreenwald Qualitatively different cases. Hate speech urging government action less likely to incite than appeals to mob. -
@jdvanlaningham@RonanFarrow@ggreenwald govt call for war unchecked by media incite violence far beyond a mob when those war are conducted -
.
@Raza_inc So you want to censor government communications? Good luck with that... -
@jdvanlaningham cute but I said media leaving govt call for unchecked like in the run up to Iraq. From Tom Friedman to Fox news -
.
@Raza_inc Should also note failure of public. Anyone who looked at WMD claims KNEW it was bullshit. Ritter, AFS, Kelly etc. -
@jdvanlaningham public has a different responsibility media shapes public opinions -
.
@Raza_inc Media shapes public opinion because of the failure of citizens to critically evaluate & actively seek alternative views.

@RonanFarrow Sectarian incitment not OK for Rwanda but OK for the ME?@ggreenwald -
@RonanFarrow@ggreenwald It's easy to say "I wish we could remove some of this." Hard to have an actual policy that's not one sided.
