    I’m only coming from the standpoint of how dangerous it is for a mass media outlet to control who has a voice. I don’t know how we can articulate this fairly and would like help for that, but I’m not gonna find help in a sea of people who just wanna take sides and ignore the means.

    Why should anyone get to own the only effective avenues of communication? Communication is what determines how the world works.

    CP is illegal obviously, and jihad doesn’t make sense in the cute cats category the way ‘straight only game mod’ makes sense in the ‘game mod’ category.

      Who currently owns the “only effective avenues of communication”?

      You cleaely still want people to moderate social networks. I assume you’d want these people to outside the company?

        Hell, we’re on a site where you can literally filter what content you see. No one is so pro communication that they’ll happily chat away to someone that they don’t want to be around.

        The line should be drawn at actual harm of course. That can also be indirect.

          Ah, so you’re pro moderation when you personally find the contect to be even indirectly harmful.
