glad no one can be mad because they are a private company :)



Well I actually align with this opinion My politics are certainly by US standards left wing. I supported the recent right wing purge on social media because I thought it was their right to do so, and I support the right of FB to ban whoever they want.

The one thing that must not be censored is the internet itself. If someone wants to wants to throw up a pro Neo-Nazi site on their own server, that must be allowed to stand.

That rings hollow. Your datacenter, ISP, CDN or registrar will boot you.


Hypothetical: If I want to print a neo-Nazi newspaper:

- Printing services can refuse to print my newspaper. - Shipping companies can refuse to deliver my newspaper. - Heck, my landlord could boot me out of my home for being a neo-Nazi.

Is the internet any different? Datacenters and CDNs = Printing services, ISPs = shipping companies.
