John, I could provide many examples of censorship. Then once I offered these up, you'd dismiss them because you're ideologically left, ahem! Not really a small l, Libertarian. I list, you'd dismiss, and cheer on the oligarchy. For me, I would say screw it, let all voices be heard, uncensored. because the alternative is oligarchy and corporate and bribed politicians making laws. This is simply the condition for this day. In response to your complaint, here is a Wiki list of those banned from Jack Dorsey's Twitter or as I personally refer to it as Twit's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_suspensions Here's a Guardian article concerning FaceBook.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/29/facebook-banned-me-because-i-am-leftwing-i-am-not-the-only-one Now if you come back and state, "good," or "I don't care because its a private company and they can do as they like," ok. But then you have no argument even though information gets provided. But you cannot claim that it isn't happening or because you never heard of it means it doesn't exist. It is simply unimportant to you because it disagrees with your ideology. fine. E pur si muove, as the Italian guy once said.

Once more you're talking about corporations censoring people, and once more you are unable to give one single example of that actually happening. And I must say although I always knew you had issues I badly underestimated the intensity of your inanity so I was astounded to hear you defending something as silly as the decency act. You think it's terrible a corporation decides not to let a hack politician use their platform to pedal lethal lies, like autism is caused by vaccines, and Hydroxychloroquine and Clorox can cure COVID-19, and there were more than 7 million fraudulent votes in the last election so you should get angry and march on the capital; but anybody who wants to look at a naked female breast on the Internet should be prevented from doing so by censorship, and if they try to avoid that censorship they should go to prison. > Often Law Fare as it is now called, is a merely a tool of the rich Spud my boy I'm confused. You've made it clear you don't like Communism, but you don't like Capitalism either hence all your complaints about corporations and their "oligarch money". You don't like Democracy hence your support of Donald Trump even after he incited a violent attack on the capital in an unsuccessful coup d'état attempt to stay in power after he lost an election by 7 million votes, and you don't like individuals being allowed to make decisions on their own about how they should live their lives thus your support for the decency act. So how should society organize itself, what DO you like? The only form of government I haven't heard you criticize is right wing fascist dictatorships. Is that in fact what you would prefer? > your once-vaunted ACLU is now ok with censorship, with the 1st amendment > being merely one, and the least of 15 new principles. > https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/06/us/aclu-free-speech.html I don't feel even the slightest obligation to defend the views of the ACLU, I only feel an obligation to defend my own views against yours, and if I am unable to do that then I will abandon them and adopt your views as my own; I have absolutely no loyalty towards ideas. If another person's idea is better than mine then my idea has got to go. It's called the scientific method. But there's little chance of me needing to abandon my ideas in this case as your attack is pitiful, you can't even give me a single example of corporate censorship despite my many requests.
