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

my position is nuanced

Justified, maybe

should we ban porn from internet ? children might stumble across it <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

If we specifically told you we wouldnt ban you for something

and then we did

It could be justified for moral reasons

but not justified under their stated practice

which is why it's kinda justified kinda not

Its like a cop explicitly saying to you, I wont pull you over if you speed less than 5 miles over

then they pull you over for doing 47 in a 45

Well technically you did do something "bad"

but he said he wouldnt

so they would be kinda justified and kinda not

why is everybody so scared of nuance?

Yeah im pointing out the controverys is the "unjustified" part there

The free speech absolutests would be the ones saying "there should be no speed limits"

except every time I say there is nuance, you refuse to agree with that

and you want to go back to arguing about it lol

There definitely is nuance

Im not saying their isnt

okay, good. and that's my point

In this case, The Cop pulled you over for doing 43 in a 45 zone and then has dispach declare the area a high risk reduced speed zone to justify it.

I got pulled over in a 45 in a 45 zone because I was doing 55 in a 55 zone
