A Plan To End Social Media's Hate Dissemination And Free Speech Clampdown

No major media outlet gives hate, bigotry and violence the platform that social media corporations provide. Newspapers, television, cable and other media outlets are responsible for content and cannot use the excuse that they are mere platforms. 

The screening that social media corporations now say they apply - their anemic response to having become the world's greediest disseminators of hate and bigotry - is arbitrary and inadequate. It also fails to distinguish between legitimate criticism and hate dissemination. 

A tax should be levied on these corporations. The money collected should be used to fund an independent organization beholden to no one that will be responsible for reviewing and removing hate, bigotry and incitement to violence. Social media corporations must cease having the authority for self policing. The fox must not guard the henhouse. 

At the very least, and until this is put in place, social media corporations should be compelled to provide access to actual people that do the screening and reviewing. People that can be reached by a toll free number and by computer. Until now, it is impossible to contact an actual person at these social media giants to receive an explanation as to why certain hate content is not removed. Also, why certain content is arbitrarily removed because someone complains, but the actual content that was removed provides legitimate criticism that has nothing to do with hate, bigotry and violence.
