Social media posts inciting hate and division have “real world consequences” and there is a responsibility to regulate content, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, insisted on Friday, following Meta’s decision to end its fact-checking programme in the United States.
It wasn’t an opinion, you gleefully referenced the upcoming administration in the US as it will handle trans people. You used the threat of institutional violence to try and make me afraid for my life and safety. Children could read those comments. That would do measureable harm to them. Those are horrible things to say. Your laissez faire attitude about it shows that you are in fact fine with hurting children.
I never once said anything that threatened your life.
I never said you did. You used the threat of violence from the change in power on January 20th to try and make me feel threatened and afraid. There’s literally no other explanation for what you said. That’s an awful thing to do to someone. Why are you even responding to me at this point if you’re glad that the safety and well-being of other people like me is going to come under attack in a week? Isn’t talking to me at all basically against the ideology of the people you support? They talk about my community like we’re subhuman animals who should be put down for who we are. Because we’re not the same as them and we don’t conform with the expectations they enforce.
If you support attacks on my right to exist, my right to access healthcare and be a healthy person with quality of life, then I don’t see why it would matter if you did or didn’t literally threaten to hurt me.
