The situation is that in the future, anyone can not only think this, but also describe it without further ado, according to Facebook's new guidelines on abuse and harassment. You don't have to fear selective retorts, a longer or shorter or permanent ban, and probably not having dozens of followers wishing for the death of any public figure, who will shout the confirmation like a virtual echo. Sic transit gloria mundi - we could say, if it wasn't just that the biggest social media is now sanctioning its existing practice, as if by popular demand, and conferring extra rights on the mob in the name of counter-selection
However, it is not without good reason that I fear that the glory of the world has passed, if I look in the direction of the setting sun, although it is undoubtedly difficult for the frog whose small hands tending to the embers under the pot have been carrying the firewood for a long time to perceive the temperature of the water. But what is it about?
Based on the Guardian's article, Index wrote that a three-hundred-page document published at the end of last year details Facebook's new guidelines, which make it possible, among other things, to wish for the death of one-time public figures. Of course, this privilege is not granted to private individuals, only to public figures, and the Cukorhegyi Empire will also reveal who they are exactly. The definition is very broad, in vain, the rule, the (rubber) rule, but all politicians belong to this circle - I hope there are no exceptions, otherwise my editor-in-chief may have a headache - regardless of what level he is in politics and whether he was elected or not , as well as journalists who
they write or communicate orally in public.
Let's say that we at the bottom are already used to liberal care, but what will happen to you, dear good capital szaGma, who lives over there on the other side of the mirror mountain? I worry about you!
Any vlogger, influencer, or anyone with an online reputation who has more than a hundred thousand followers or fans on one of their social media accounts is also considered a public figure, and even appearing in the news is enough to deprive delinquents of protection. So if an average Jimmy, who catches a kid before he carelessly steps in front of the bus, and happens to be wearing a hat or t-shirt with Trump's name on it, now not only can he kiss the shoes of BLM activists, but he has to - being a public figure, right - bear the "I kill you asshole" comments on Facebook. In vain, expect good for a good deed.
Public figures are also those who have been mentioned in at least five articles, headlines, subtitles or previews in the last two years, with the exception of children under the age of thirteen. This is especially reassuring, because in this way, an eighth-grade vlogger can be sent to destruction, since he has presumably turned fourteen. Of course, "he doesn't know what's waiting, what's waiting, what's waiting for him", but who cares?
By the way, back to the five articles or titles! Let's imagine what Aunt Mari will say if his master - who stopped a pickpocket attempted by our hidden resources with his walking frame on trolley number 78, and therefore deservedly got on the front page of 444, and from there the news was picked up by the other independent lenses - , the day after he became a public figure, his social media page was flooded with well-wishes of the type "let the cancer eat your intestines". Guess what? If that doesn't take it away, then this one will?
Another noteworthy element of the new regulation is that those who died before 1900 can be freely depicted, as well as fictional characters, such as the Prophet, who, depending on the point of view, can even meet both criteria and receive a double bow from his enemies; at least until the next Charlie Hebdo. And if someone were to post for all eternity that Princess Leia or Dorothy from Oz is a dot-dot-dot dot-dot-dot, from now on it will be fine too, at most a ember, but a constructive debate can develop about which non-existent is the bigger bitch .
In the end, the legitimization of brain death by Facebook benefits some, while others do not, in any case, it is likely that the comment section of the DK is looking forward to an exciting year, for several reasons: those who listened to their god instead of doctors may be decimated by Covid, but those who survive the contagion, now they can "legitimately" do what until now big brother only looked at them with a half smile.
