Ok then you've convinced me censorship is good.

Don't downvote this just because you disagree, that would expose your hypocrisy.




Downvoting isn't censorship.

Neither are warning labels.

NSFW and spoiler tags work well enough (e.g. on reddit), that's the model that should be extended rather than content removal. Even something like MPAA ratings would beat content removal.

See Lady and the Tramp (which they're already monkeying with, and probably won't make it much longer altogether) vs. "Stark Raving Dad".

I'm sure I'm missing something, I don't know enough about the Telecommunications Act of '96, but it seems like as soon as you start actively removing content (as opposed to labeling, for optional group- or user-level screening) or editorializing it (as opposed to aggregating and determining what's statistically trending), section 230 goes out the window.


No you're just being semantic about it.

Your suppressing my thoughts by pushing them down the page where nobody can see and providing a big wall of text denial that amounts to "I think I'm right."


I can't tell if you're being satirical or not?
