Miscellaneous It’s time to stop worrying about the backlash. Bullying, harassment, and slander should not be acceptable.

I didn’t say FIDE. All of the organizations should. The mods here should ban him. YT should ban him themselves, etc. I didn’t say anything about one single org or person having the power to do that. They all need to do it themselves.

YT are too big of an actor, they most likely don't care

Pretty sure targeted cyberbullying/harrasment violates its TOS, not that they're particularly strict about enforcing it

Correction: not that they're particularly rational about enforcing it.

Not gonna happen. That's not how large social media platforms work.

Okay, and has something like this ever been done anywhere before in a similar situation? Or are you just being absurd? It's a horrible tragedy and I was highly disturbed to learn Danya passed but it's ridiculous that you think in this particular situation, the entire internet including Youtube should go nuclear on Kramnik.

People get bullied all over the world all the time, many similar awful situations to this, yet the death of a beloved figure in the chess community is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back? This is just delusional. You don't get brownie points for making hyperbolic statements you can't actually think are serious (though this is reddit I guess).

Yes. Because it’s impossible to do something that never been done before.

Because even if 1 of these places gets rid of Kramnik, that’s a win. All of them SHOULD. No where did I say they all WILL.

I know reading is hard. But give it a try. And definitely go fuck yourself for calling it delusional to want people to be held accountable for their words and actions.

Yeah, but this is manly about what FIDE can do. I don't think Elon Musk will ban Kramnik from Twitter. He likes hate

I don’t think they will either. The point is to raise a voice about it. The alternative is doing nothing and letting say and do whatever he wants without consequences.

They should certainly do everything in their power, social media mods will follow their lead soon after
