I have a good experience with digitalocean when it comes to technical stuff, or computing stability, most of my apps hosted there are business related apps, has nothing to do with public opinion.
but recently i decided to launch a lemmy instance that allows freedom of speech with very less restrictions, and i’m still thinking to put the service on digitalocean, but i dont know if digitalocean is good when it comes to freedom of speech, because i dont want to wake up at the morning and find that they blocked my account and deleted all my data because they didn`t like what my users are talking about.
Note: Less restrictions means (no pornography, child pornography, terrorist group and violence support, copyrighted materials trade).
If you end up providing a space for hate speech you are likely violating their ToS and thus they will delete it if someone complains.
But this is really just normal and common sense. Why would you provide online space for idiots posting their bullshit?
This has nothing to do with censorship or freedom of speech. Imagine someone opening a pub… and then having people turn up and shit on the tables and hurl insults at anyone passing by. Why would anyone in their right mind tollerate that?
I truly appreciate your view, but this not how you think mate. I’m not into hate speech of course, I’m not trying to create something that makes people fight over silly stuff, just want to establish a civilized speech but in deep, something we usually don`t see in the mainstream. lets assume that we are talking politics, for example, we criticize foreign and internal policy of the countries, defense contractors and arm dealers, shadow economics and human rights violations.
Also, we put leaks and we talk deeply about Pandora and panama papers. all these as examples.
