wolf wolf
a website for reporting hateful or violent users and their websites or pages | |
A website for people fighting racism, terrorists, and any
other type of hateful or violent content.
Reporting users that are supportive of violence. Expose these
people, research them, and get to all their fake names and
what they are up to, by teaming up with other people helpful
to this
cause. As opposed to scammers, afaik there is no-one
trying to list and follow these people. Once it gets famous
the website could invoke the police in countries where the
hateful talk is coming from.
Maybe it would change the way the internet runs, making it a
tiny bit more responsible and safer for how it affects the real
world (where we don't allow people to just yell at anybody
they see, and of course not to publicly embrace violent
behavior without being stopped.
There are more and more people around the world who
allow themselves cyber-bullying and maybe this can help.
Please log in.

Much as I hate people who hate, I am very, very nervous about the idea of arresting people for what they say, or what they think. There are exceptions, of course, and I don't condone hateful talk; and of course hateful talk can induce hateful actions. But, for the most part, punish the actions and not the talk. |

//we don't allow people to just yell at anybody they see, and of course not to publicly embrace violent behavior without being stopped// You're eliding two concepts there - yelling and violent behaviour. If somebody yells at me, I don't expect the police to arrest them. If they hit me, I do. |
|
| |
But the police hit everyone ... |
|
| |
I predict runaway scope creep, as more and more people are deemed to be supportive of violence "by implication". [-] |
|
| |
I would like to report The Whitehouse, which is currently inhabited by a fascist Hitler replica, commonly now known as The Retard. |
|
| |
It would be abused; people would report others they didn't like, even if they had not done any of the activities mentioned. |
|
| |
Unintended consequences; it could become a badge of honor. |
|
| |
Calling the police would be limited to cases where people
are actually calling for or preaching concrete violence. |
|
| |
How can it be abused? If you post a youtube where people
are teaching you how to stab someone, or how to create a
bomb, why should this be ok? Currently it is! At least in
some languages on the web it is even quite common. |
|
| |
If you post a link to a false document, people could
scrutinize it and see if it is fake or not. |
|
| |
If someone is using hidden messages in their username
which are offensive, and using that username to contact
groups of people who would be offended if they new what
it was saying, what can go wrong with exposing that to
those people? (and only if they wish to know) |
|
| |
It would be like snopes, only not for checking facts but
rather for checking users. |
|
| |
Say someone claims that user:pashute is being used to bully
someone. They would have to substantiate it with online
evidence. The website monitors could easily discern
between legit complaints and non-legit ones, since
everything is online. |
|
| |
So if someone starts with a campaign: Beware of so and so,
they would need to stand up to scrutiny. And if you can't,
then you shouldn't be disseminating this stuff. |

Calling the president of the USA 'The Retard' and writing
that he is a fascist replica of Hitler would only qualify for
an online discussion on this website, about the
appropriateness of the allegations. But would not be
assigned as terrorism or cyberbullying, if the alligator (sic)
could show that this man is lacking understanding or that
he has a methodical system of beliefs in white supremacy
that are planned to murder all "inferior" races in his country
in an organized and streamlined way. And only if this
person were spending much time using many false names
and on many different groups to advance this outlook. |
|
| |
Without the last two features, just giving your opinion once
in a while, even if that opinion is "Not Politically Correct",
as the current President would describe it, it still wouldn't
be cyberbullying. |
|
| |
On the other hand, if you go around forum after forum,
saying that the Catholics are the illuminati, that all blacks
are communist traitors, or that the (Ashkenazi) Jews have a
secret plan to take over the world and drink blood for
Passover, and you use various false names, never exposing
who you are, and some people can do some research and
expose you, then no harm has been done. |
