or when you demonstrate maturity

Im supposed to go out of my way and buy a $10 burner phone?

The 6 year-old was just an example btw, we're also talking about kids who are 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, all the way up to 17 and up

How dare you, easier to ban the N word from the internet

bad parenting, but big corporations and a nanny state will save the day hahaha

Also censoring things on the intenet isnt easy

@Countess Okay, so then what happens when he borrows his friend's phone. They will always find a way to get on the internet. You can't always control them.

Sure, but you can limit their access as much as possible

What you are arguing for in favor of total parental control is much scarier than slight regulation by social media sites

But it seems you would rather limit the internet?

Am I misrepresenting your point?

quick friend, give me ur phone so i can watch sargon say the n word

while mom does the dishes

my 10 year old visited sargon, and now hes dead!

he wont stop using the n word

I am okay with the internet being slightly regulated and also relying on the parents to have some parental control

Regulated by whom

Im fine with twitter making their own rules

Regulated by the websites

If patreon said "no harmful speech"

sargon, in my child's browse history ?
it's more likely than you think

they can go do that

and ban people

okay so all of this and youa gree with me

No I dont

yeah, you do

you just said you think social media sites should have the right to regulate harmful speech

in fact, that's probably FURTHER than I would go

on their own platform

I want these companies to have some ability to regulate, but their ability to regulate should be limited

if i say some awful thing on facebook, twitter shouldn't ban me

My point was, people arent mad at patreon for banning for the N word

they are mad because they misrepresented their practices

Actually many free speech absolutists are

also they arent banning for the N word

quick search proves that

Many people think that ANY regulation of the internet or social media sites is wrong

I think they are a minority of the controversy

I think we disagree over why the issue is controversial

I agree that banning for using the N word is fne

I already recognized that the Patreon case with Sargon is iffy for some reasons, but I also explained why it is kind of justified at the same time
