David Duke, former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, frequently posts videos on a website called Odysee. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones also streams his podcast, “The Alex Jones Show,” on the site. It works a lot like YouTube and attracts millions of views each month.
Anti-hate groups say the site is a hotbed of extremism where users from around the world — including promoters of U.S.-designated terrorist group the Nordic Resistance Movement, Holocaust deniers and Proud Boys supporters — use Odysee’s data storage and financial features to spread their views and raise money. Users also take advantage of the forum’s near complete lack of content moderation. The site’s CEO said he’s dedicated to keeping the company “censorship resistant.”
The site also comes with strong New England ties. Odysee was created by a now-defunct New Hampshire cryptocurrency company and began with seed money from a downtown Boston-based venture capital firm called Pillar VC, financed by a diverse constellation of local investors.
…
yes, exactly.
they want to use odysee for discoverability because they know who their audience is.
they would post on Lemmy if we had even more degenerates here.
I don’t understand your point. Is Rossmann guilty of associating with criminals because he wants to be discoverable and monetize his content on Odysee?
“guilty by association” are your words.
I am free to judge people by who they associate with and I judge Rossmon for it and tell people that I do.
In the US, the freedom to associate is accompanied by a freedom to not associate, as protected by the first amendment of the US constitution. Much like I can judge someone by what they say I can also judge someone by who they associate with.
So… he’s “bad”?
guilty of looking funny.
haha, agreed
