As in the larger network isn't fucked because one segment is
That's pretty clearly saying "we have a cuck bill in China but the Chinese internet is fucked"
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
You let harmful practices and regulations spread to the US and the remaining free parts of the internet and it gets worse for everybody.
No, you said I was saying that the internet *in China* survived so it's okay
So you have to take preemptive steps to stop it.
Name the Chinese policies that have spread to the US
Well, we now have the beginnings of a "great firewall" in the UK
We have people calling for hate speech regulations in the US.
People calling for hate speech != Chinese policies in place
*hate speech being originally pushed by Stalin and common throughout the communist block
No, but it's very plausibly going there.
I have no doubt there are Democrats *right now* who are looking to draft regulation to ban it.
You can already see it in some proposals.
We're not getting hate speech legislation with a Trump dominated SCotUS
I would not be so sure.
Suppose Trump unelected 2020.
Dems decide to expand the federal bench.
What do you plan to do about it.
Nothing,. You have nothing.
You are going to just whine on the internet.
Like everyone else here.
Sorry how does legislating the internet fix this?
It blocks it ahead of time.
No it doesn't lol
It forces the issue to stop censorship for the meantime.
They can just fucking overturn that shit
What?
No they can't.
If you're required to host all political discussion as a public square, there's nothing to overturn.
That's the most retarded solution I've ever heard
Unless you are saying the laws applied to shopping malls and telephone lines for nearly a half century are unconstitutional.
Not an argument.
>all political discussion
It cannot possibly be that broad
Or you're just saying fuck property rights
Fine. If you want a more specific solution, I can find it.
But there's pretty standard precidents.
Which is what I'm advocating for.
The only way Trump would put hate speech production in is if it is hate speech protection for trump, which honestly nobody wants to do. Except trump.
