Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

I empathize but what does she want? People are assholes. They’re assholes on social media and they’re assholes everywhere else.
If only we could hold social media’s billionaires accountable or something. Unfortunately, that is impossible, and we can and should never imagine a better world
I generally want to make billionaires pay, just as a general rule.
But I don’t see this one specific instance being their fault.
We used to burn women alive if they knew how to do math. Since that time, things have gotten a little bit better. But not much.
People are assholes. All around you are assholes. These assholes go online and continue to be assholes.
There’s a little thing called “free speech”. Govt doesn’t have the power to regulate speech.
Sorry what? Tech billionaires don’t have to enable the free speech of sexually harassing a child online.
And if your argument is that sexually harassing a child online is “free speech” - and that’s the best argument you have - that’s not a good argument.
What kind of accountability were you referring to? Were you expecting tech billionaires to hold themselves accountable?
Well, uh… I think she wants people to get better. Like all of us.
Best we can do is find new ways to be assholes.

Moderation? All mainstream social media has done away with it and blatantly allows that stuff to happen.
