CMV: We should not encourage or applaud social media companies for removal of sensitive or offensive content.

There has been a growing trend of social media companies such as Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube removing content which is deemed inappropriate. Examples could be content that is homophobic or racist.

&#x200B;

My viewpoint is that this trend should be actively discouraged. The reason I think this is because censorship of any kind is a slippery slope. Platforms such as the ones mentioned are extremely influential in today's society, and can easily shape the social and political views of their consumers. We've seen this directly effect everything from popular culture to US elections. Encouraging such platforms to be the judge, jury and executioner on what viewpoints should be elevated and which ones should be wiped out is a dangerous power that could easily be abused.

&#x200B;

There are situations in which I think removal of content is appropriate. Content that directly incites violence (such as creating a Facebook event to rally a violent event) or content that can be proven to purposefully mislead people with medical information (such as Amazon's recent removal of books which promoted dangerous homeopathic remedies such as drinking bleach). Those are examples in which I believe removal should be encouraged. But the process should be heavily scrutinized, and the public should be very cautious about applauding or encouraging this removal.

&#x200B;

To be clear, I am not proposing government regulation or any action be done to prevent this. My view is simply that we should not encourage removal of any content from social media sites simply because we find it in opposition to our social or political ideologies.

Right, so since this is not about regulation or any particular action, it's about social and cultural mores surrounding those issues.

Here's the problem with your suggestion - complaining about content you find politically inappropriate is kind of a *forced move*. You don't really have a choice but to do it, because you can't expect for your opposition(on whatever issue it is, but obviously we're not talking about issues where there's unanimous agreement) to stay silent either.

It's a bit like a prisoner's dillemma - you can't expect for your opposition to stay silent, so you have to speak up yourself and encourage your side to be active on the site. 

What other choice do you have?
