So here's a request I've been getting a lot in 2020: "can you build me a social media app?"
And then people act like I'm being stupid when I ask what their content moderation policies will be. You want to create a media/chat platform without caring what people post there? https://twitter.com/rachelyhe_/status/1277704636238123013

And it's always men wondering why I'm asking about content moderation.
Are you completely new to the internet, and human behaviour, sir?
Cos it's only a matter of time before someone posts something deeply disturbing/illegal. And you have to plan for it.

I don't care how "edgy" you are. Just because I can write code doesn't mean I'm about to make it easier to oppress people (or expose them to harm) with my work.

(Another red flag is a lot of men want dating chatrooms where everyone's phone number and location is on display. What the fuck is wrong y'all?)
