      He’s such a disgusting greedy little pig boy who frankly belongs in a deep hole where nobody will find him 🙏

      Absolutely fuck spez.

      But he’s right here. Just because he’s a fuckstick doesn’t mean he’s always wrong on every issue 100% of the time.

      Various forms of censorship under the flag of ‘online safety’ have been pushed by governments since the internet began to exist. And before that with print media and television. Censorship is not the answer. Never was. First it was for porn, then it was for video games, then it was for hate speech, it’s always something.

      But in the words of Captain Jean-Luc Picard,

      “With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.”

      Censorship must be opposed.

        I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word ‘censorship’.

          Who would you have define hate speech in the US? SCOTUS?

          Many citizens may agree on the definition, but I wouldn’t trust our government to draw those lines.

        It requires them to restrict certain categories of video, so that users cannot share content on cyberbullying, promoting eating disorders, promotion of self harm or incitement to hatred on a number of grounds.

        Yeh, fuck censorship. Let’s all be shitbags and do that stuff instead!

          To be fair, censorship on Reddit is already very very aggressive. I was banned for saying “yay” on a news thread about the death of the queen.
