No, don't accept censorship in any form. Repeal section 230 and make them own their censorship. The argument you give is wrong, period. It's similar to the "if you don't have anything to hide then why worry about the government invading your privacy" group. That attitude of yours is what got us into this position in the first place. I served ten years in the military, not to be told by some nerds in suits what to think and who I can share it with.
It isn’t censorship when the service provider told you in no uncertain terms within the very user agreement you agreed to, that they reserve the right to do whatever they want with user submitted data.
It is only censorship if you continue to be blind to the agreement you agreed to. Stop pretending you haven’t been warned about this for years.
Read on section 230, without that law that we gave them, then it doesn't exist. It will be repealed soon and we can send the liberal extreme packing. Do not cede any ground.
230 wont matter. These companies can not be rehabilitated. There is no scenario where Uncle Sam moderates the service back to fairness that isn’t a worse cure than the problem.
The only reason these companies have power is dumb consumers who ignored all the warning signs and failed to understand the agreements they approved. Smart consumers steered clear of these services from their inception and have none of the problems being complained about now as a result.
The solution is simple: mass exodus from any service that abuses its user base. Only patronize services that treat the customer fairly. Stop giving power to the bad guys by blind allegiance.
This very website is proof of the power of the invisible hand.
Concerned about privacy/censorship while using Facebook?
Pay the toll.
