An interesting thing I didn't think could happen. Local ISPs censoring websites who are censoring people.
The plot thickens and the censorship doubles! If only we had VPN to get around this... lol oh wait we do...
Anyway, its obvious that censoring people enmasse on social media is akin to unpersoning them, in a world where everything and anything is all going digitial, being blacklisted and not allowed to use services due to a Monopoly not liking your opinion is very Authoritarian.
Liberals and leftists, don't think this won't happen to you if some right wingers get in control.
I consider myself mostly a centrist these days, and think both sides are fucking stupid.
The proper way forward is to decentralize SO THAT right wingers or left wingers CANNOT censor you. DUH.
How is decentralization not a right winger thing? Keep in mind that RINO Republicans are fake conservatives and actually on the left but called right. The fake new redefine what it means to be left or right. If we're using their terminology, they can have both of them, what they call right and left and I will be a up winger. I don't want to go right or left, I want to go up and up meaning progress, freedom, decentralization, smaller government, etc.
There are right wing platforms like Parler and Gab that are censoring people there, and it isn't always for posting illegal content either.
I am also referring to the more standard quadrant where going "up" on it is being more Authoritarian and going down is Libertarian. So I am a Centrist Libertarian is what I am saying. The right hates on me and the left hates on me.
Gab has rules. Andrew Torba has said if you break the rules, the post may be deleted. It is a normal policy. It is not like Gab said you can post anything you want. But I think Facebook said you can post anything.
The rules should be only illegal content is not allowed in my opinion.
Does a bakery have to bake a gay cake?
Can cakes be gay??? ;)
No.
Oh, what? They can't be? Oh no, my whole world has been splattered.
These sides are lies to me and inasmuch as immutability is a great thing, what this blockchain does that equally valuable is make it plain when there is an attempt to censor, downvote, troll etc. That transparency of having such transactions to censor or downvote on a public blockchain ledger is very important.
