If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

Now, say you’re an ordinary person. You don’t like child porn. You’re not a Nazi. You don’t want to shoot up a school or blow up the White House.

If i let you use my computer network for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to kick you off. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.

You have the right to say what you want. You do not have the right to use other people’s stuff for free.

Nazis.

So.

Who is the #1 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who most wants that?

If a non-LGBT man (of any age) from a Western country attracts far more mosquitoes than potential dates, what does that say about him?

The #3 user? Terrorists. 8kun was used to plan 3 different school shootings in a 6-month period.

Who is the #2 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who else wants that?

Because you’re confusing two different things.

What are my 10 favorite rock record album opening tracks?

Child pornographers.

We don’t have to guess. We know.

If I let you borrow my bike for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to take it back. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.

What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”

The #1 problem people who make and consume child pornography have is connecting the producers with the buyers. Any “censorship-free” network quickly gets overrun with child porn. Classic example: 8kun.

I hate censorship. That is, I think the government has no place controlling what people say, read, express, or create, except insofar as is necessary to prevent things like terroristic threats, dissemination of classified information, fraud, false advertising, and so on.

“Censorship-free” social media sites quickly become Nazi bars where people exchange child porn. Normal human beings don’t hang out in Nazi bars with pedophiles.

How do I explain to my husband that my 19-year-old son has accidentally gotten me pregnant?

Why do “censorship-free” social media networks always fail? Well, let’s see. Sit down and think. Think really, really hard.

Are you going to stay on a social media site that’s all photos of babies being raped, Nazis posting graphic descriptions of finishing what Hitler started, and plans for school shootings?

That has nothing to do with social media.
