Honestly the real problem though… is the double edged problem. Sadly the majority of people that are censored… are ones that no one wants to listen to, self admitted white supremacists, Flat earthers, anti vax, school shooting deniers etc…
The problem is in the ideal world, those types aren’t censored, but are burried on the simple ground of being outnumbered. But sadly they are a larger fringe than people that just care about free speach… and thus when a platform opens without censorship, instead of representing the actual reality, it disproportionately gets overtaken by the hateful extremists.
Very interesting take. I recently have started having a bit of respect for US. They no doubt suppress but it could’ve been much worse. I disagree on Assange viewpoint. I think current social media and famous tech controlling people control opinion way more than Assange.
In my case, I’ve seen admins who offend by actions have the opinion that their offense is normal and justified so when I offend back, they get offended that why did he offend first when I’ve just responded.
