the artist formerly known as kanye west, who today announced he is going to purchase parlor. do you know what por lor is? the word might invoke the image of a fancy room or cute little lady sit and sip their tea from good china. but parlor is decidedly not that. parlor is a far right fringe social media platform. and you first might have heard of it around the time of the capitol insurrection, january 6, 2021, because many of the violent rioters organized on parlor. podcast host kara swisher that very day asked one of the founders of parlor if he felt any responsibility for death and destruction to which he said this. i don t feel responsible for any of this, and neither should the platform, considering we re a neutral town square that just add head heres to the law. so, if people are organizing something, that s more of a problem of people are upset. they feel disenfranchised. yes, people were upset and they felt disenfranchised. not long after that interview, appl ....
his view of the jewish people who give them a social media platform. sounds great. i think he thinks the new elon musk. and the conversations broadly being about hey let s make sure one has a say. the promise i feel like half the time people think that it s cancel culture don t realize that no one wants to hear the antisemitism. did not canceling you, the counseling an idea that wasn t already canceled. don t worry it s but we re not thinking about some viewpoints? it s bizarre to me. that that was interesting that didn t he was a billionaire. he s worth about two billion dollars. i learned that on your show tonight. it doesn t surprise me. he is a genius. he is brilliant and it is a travesty to see what is going on. maybe a minute and popular position. but have to tell you that have seen the documentary, i know there was one genius where the top bottom somewhere but have a very difficult time he s not term for people who have you points that i find so problem ....
During the pandemic because of fears of erroneous health information. and i certainly understand that. but at the same time, facebook clamped down on folks who were theorizing not fringe people either, like scientists, doctors, who were theorizing about the origin of the wuhan virus, about covid-19, about the fresh market, of the wet market theory. they later had to take it back. they later had to unban those comments. so, i hear what you re saying. but i guess in another way of saying is, is it easier said than done? misinformation one day sometimes becomes a legitimate target for discussion the next. i think that s a fair point. even earlier on i remember even some of our health organizations were saying that masks were not effective and to not worry about not getting a mask. ....
Until the biden administration said that they were going to investigate it. and then the ban was lifted. a similar story when just before the 2020 election, the new york post started reporting that the fbi had obtained a laptop belonging to joe biden s son, hunter biden, containing all sort of hideous material. facebook and twitter took steps to bottle up that reporting and keep the post s stories from being shared. the fbi, i think, basically came to us some folks on our team and was like, hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. but now we know that other media organizations, including the washington post, had authenticated some of the emails on the laptop and that there is a federal investigation going on right now into hunter biden. these kinds of decisions are part of what is fuelling any push for alternate social media, what is being billed by these ....
To if something we said rallied violence. fox news anchors had to go on air and directly refute their previous statements that dominion voting machines had been weaponized by the venezuelan government, and that is absolutely the right thing. it s our fault. we need to elect representatives that understand technology and stop letting these platforms spread misinformation. and have algorithm that like incendiary content and give it more sunlight than we get organically. free speech is important. but giving this type of hate speech and misinformation more reach than it would on its own, that s a problem. so, i read an interesting paper in the columbia law review about how a lot of the more main stream platforms, facebook, instagram, twitter, started really clamping down much more ....
