Ola's Bhavish Agarwal is on a tirade against linkedin.
People are missing the point. I think the core issue is that linkedin should not delete his comment, even if they dont agree with the contents of it. Bhavish might have a politically incorrect (or correct) take on using pronouns, but either ways its not LinkedIn's job to delete his comment until and unless it runs fouls of government guidelines.
@nishant_overland@mastodonindians LinkedIn’s ONLY job is content moderation. They should definitely delete his comment if they find it doesn’t fit into the kind of destination they want to be on the internet. Anybody can host content. It is the moderation & curation that adds value.
i am of the same opinion tbh. different groups have different politics and, therefore, different ways of dealing with the world. it is ridiculous that most people expect centralised platforms to be able to cater to everyone's needs.
Of course laws cover most cases but they are not the only standards for society. Laws are slow to change with society. Anti dowry law was in 1961, Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act was in 1976, Same sex marriages are still not allowed in India, Show of love (as simple as kissing) was illegal for gay couple until last few years, we are still battling against hate speeches in courts.
