If there was only one website on the internet you’d have more of an argument but there isn’t

Okay Alex Jones for example, he's not allowed on Apple anymore but he isn't being arrested he's still doing his thing and doing his free speech.

He's being deplatformed but he can still say what he likes on his own website.

It would only be a freedom of speech problem if they arrested him

Being deplatformed is censorship

Yeah and being censored is not a freedoms of rights violation

But it is still censorship

@Satan The real question here is, “who really owns the internet”?

Is it okay for a private company to tell you to heck off?

Yes

Is it ethical?

But don't say that you're not censoring them because you are
And I'm not saying that it's wrong to do so

Depends

I'd say not

But that's me

Say I doxx someone should I be banned from discord?

@The Gwench there's no particular entity that does that

I think so

Yeah

Am I being censored?

Yes

So that's appropriate censorship?

Yes

Because I broke the laws of the service it was okay to ban me?

Yes it was okay

But that doesn't mean you weren't being censored

So censorship from online services isn't inherently bad

Never said it was..

I don't agree with it but it's not inherently bad

I just have a problem with people putting themselves on a high horse and preaching how they don't censor when they do exactly that

*cough* alt earth

Can you give me an example?

Oh wait lol

😂

@The Gwench do you agree with Fluff?

But yeah YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, they all censor you and no it isn't bad

Just read from your last message down 😊

It's within their right to decide what they allow in their platform

Oh that similey is a wee bit much

And I agree when you say that we agree to their conditions when we use their site so it's not really upon us to bitch about being censored

I agree with you so far, however I think calling censorship should be a more protected term.

I'm sure there's a word less strong that can be substituted for it in many cases

Because your speech isn't being suppressed just rerouted

Well I don't think being censored is necessarily a violation of freedom of speech

You can still say whatever just not in a certain place

So we agree but we are being pedantic about the terms?

Maybe lel

I think it boils down to the fact that when you think censorship you think “Chinese government” or North Korea, the first thing you think of isn’t YouTube deleting your pirated film

True

I do want Gwenchs take on this as she seemed to have a different opinion

In practice, it’s used to describe the extreme end more than the tiny little things like banning you from a website

She's also more invested as she has had her Twitter gotten by the big mass ban

Yeah puppy but I think that's what we were talking about
Shadow banning people would be censorship but it's also Facebook's right to be snowflakes

Loaded terms <:angery:486195953410244608>

4chan is d best

No rules

4chan is not good

It has everything

But I like places that don't have rules

Especially on internet

Reddit has everything but you don't have to put up with anything you don't want

Eh

Reddish quarantines subreddits

Reddit*

Yeah fair call for them

Only the illegal ones usually

Just the most toxic ones

I would have no problem with censorship if their intentions were to prevent harm to others or to the fate of our political process. However, how could that possibly be policed?

Or if they’re getting a bit extreme and taking over like the_donald did

As much as I hate incels they weren't illegal

They had incredibly violent rhetoric

Not illegal

They are dicks

And they weren't doing anything illegal

Calling for death to all women is borderline crime

Is it?

@Satan It May be illegal if it’s considered to be slander.

Even if it's hilariously unachievable

I don't know if it's crime

@Satan Inciting violence is a crime.

O

Sucks

@The Gwench removing the fake news is to help the political process though, their main intent is to recover from the Cambridge anylictia issue

Apologies for spelling

It's late

If they find a way to not fuck up their algorithm and not remove satire and specifically target fake news then it'd be good but we all know that won't happen since Facebook sucks cock

That's what they are aiming for

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS How would we ever know if their intentions are true, or if to push their own personal agenda.

If they developed an algorithm that complex they could basically just make licensing that algorithm out their entire business model

Won't happen :^)

Say one party was making hundreds of thousands of misleading posts with the intent to split people apart if you stopped them posting would that be okay? @The Gwench

Hey guys. I’m tired now and going back to bed. Thanks for the great discussion @Satan @xXPuppyLoverXx @I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS . 😃

Aight night

That’ll be $20

Puppy you get paid by Soros you don't need my cash

Nighty @The Gwench

I thought it was nasa?

Or does he own them too

<:smart:484956754489376781>

NASA owns soros

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS Only if they can be proven to be misleading @I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS
