Maybe but in what way my statement could be used has nothing todo with the conversation we are having.
I used it specifically in the context of torture.
Yes, but was it illegal? The point being that our opinions of morality don’t, and shouldn’t, matter. The only thing that should matter is whether it breaks the law, and any ramifications of that.
Because letting someone do something to you is still another person doing something to you.
Consent is a thing. If you agree to something, and physical harm happens as a reasonably unexpected outcome, the other party is usually not held responsible.
That said, depending on circumstance I can see the other streamers having some responsibility for his death.
What I don’t see is how the platform is reasonably expected to make judgement calls about this sort of content without descending into censorship. Prior to death, none of what had been done was illegal. Expecting them to cut off the stream would have been no different from other corps removing material they find morally objectionable.
There is certainly a discussion to be had about the morality of boxing. In my opinion at least.
Well I think there are some things we can all agree on are not okay. Torture for example.
I agree with you about the morality. That’s not the point. Censorship is a major problem in the world today, and encouraging more of it is something we need to be wary of. Self-censorship is especially insidious, and expecting companies to self-censor leads to all sort of undesirable outcomes. That’s why we have laws, so that it’s (mostly) clear and unambiguous where the line is.
