Celebrating violence that has already happened does not violate the TOS rule 1 cited by OP. Barack Obama held a press conference on national TV when Navy Seals assassinated Osama bin Laden.
Being an American citizen does not make you immune from posthumous criticism. I think OP is displaying bias based on the facts of this specific case. If Harvey Weinstein got shot in the hospital instead and forums celebrated I doubt they would have an issue.
This comment has been reported for violence (Really)
Found the health insurance CEO's Lemmy account. Scared? Maybe stop killing people and they won't feel the need to return the favor.
Or are you afraid that lemmy.world is gonna lose their advertisers? Oh... Wait....
If not unless the platform becomes like, a planning site for murder I doubt any authorities will do much of anything.
I’m betting that the admins could find themselves in hot water with the authorities if this continues to go unchecked.
On that front you're pretty much entirely incorrect. As much as it may not feel good, being happy that someone died isn't illegal in any of the countries in which .world is hosted.
Specifically calling for, or planning out any form of violence is a different discussion.
Why? No one is inciting violence, commissioning violence, or even inciting hatred.
Hoping something bad happens to a person you dislike is not the same as an actionable threat. Celebrating something bad happening to someone for the actions they committed isn't incitement. That's just a consequence of the person's actions. CEOs are not a protected group of people, it's just a job title.
I don't really see anyone getting in actual legal trouble, I think you're just clutching at pearls for no particular reason.
brazenly violate rule #1 “We do not tolerate threats of and calls for violence in any form against any living creature”.
I've seen so many caveats and exemptions to this rule, its a complete joke.
I’m betting that the admins could find themselves in hot water with the authorities if this continues to go unchecked.
LOL what authorities and what law. Please be specific.
