The Faux Legalism of Silicon Valley Censors

In the latest round of social media censorship, the thing that stood out to me was how Faceberg couched its libel and slander in faux legalistic, formal sounding language. They try to frame it as a "scientific" process that determines someone is "hateful", instead of the parochial, uninformed opinion of a tiny, arbitrary group of people.

It's a huge insult, not only to the people who were censored, but to the audience of people who enjoyed their videos. The absurdity of some assholes in a corporate meeting room deciding what anyone else can watch should make everyone's blood boil.
