middle eastern countries, China, Russia and others are a part of it
it may not be a crazy important issue, but the worry over the situation is still kinda there for me and others
I know all these things you're telling me but I see no cause for concern.
Canada censors its citizens. Anything that is considered "hate speech" in person or on the internet, meaning anything SJWs don't like, is a felony in Canada and people have been convicted on it many times.
the US's free speech and freedom of expression is enshrined in law, that's why it was preferable to have it privately owned by them
in my opinion anyway
As much as the rest of the world makes fun of the US, the rest of the world is living in the dark ages when it comes to free speech.
yo can i get a link to the clip at the beggining repzion's "re:trumpocalypse" video?
It's not that far back in the log in the NSFW channel.
thanks
Scroll up.
👍 got it ty
Uhhh, Canada can arrest people for hate speech even if *no one* could control the internet.
That's not related to who controls the DNS registry
I know.
I was mentioning it because they ALREADY have been doing it.
Oh and on that note, no one can *truly* control the internet.
Not that they won't stop trying to control it.
You know what happens when people start going totalitarian on the world wide web?
People just move on to the deep web.
it's not a problem you can get around unless you know about these things though
like an average user of the internet would know nothing about the deep web
I wouldn't underestimate the power of mouth to mouth communication
I suppose so
Going totalitarian on the entire internet will be a terrible mistake for the ones trying it.
They're the ones who will suffer for it.
yeah, but a generation that was born into that sort of thing wouldn't realize that it's not normal
I've never credited the people who try to do this with any abundence of intellectual capacity.
but I doubt anyone would suddenly forget what a free internet was like or not talk about it
SJWs don't seem to get that their attempts to censor people is what's killing their movement.
The point is, even if someone did try something, it wouldn't work out for them.
Censorship is a self-defeating action and those who do it are always too stubborn and stupid to understand that.
maybe they'll just peter out from in fighting eventually to see who has the most oppression points
The internet is the most people-empowering thing that exists in this world.
It's impossible to control.
you can control someone's access to it though
or access to parts of it
unless they learn of a workaround from an outside source
Its power to affect society is why people try to control it. They, rightly, see it as a threat to their power.
I don't think people are so unresourceful to not find it.
