I agree with your sentiment but I only realise it now after having given it some thought.
The reason I disagree with the silencing of nationalist speech but didn't consider porn to be effectively suffering from the same issue is because I simply never considered censoring porn to be a speech issue. I had never thought of it as an idea, which is what I think of when it comes to political ideologies.
I think the difference here is more related to whom is doing the censoring. Google or MS don't censor porn on their products, Facebook only partially removes some related imagery so I don't see it as a concerted attempt to blocking the people's access to it, which is what I see as being the current trend when it comes to these more controversial topics. It's all my bias of course.
- justadeveloper2 9y agoThe Chinese and North Koreans ban pornography don't they? It's a pretty good litmus test for how open or closed a society is.
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoSo to be clear, you think "Heil Hitler! Enslave the blacks and exterminate the Jews!" is a more socially important sort of speech than, "Fuck me harder, I love it!"? I don't want to live on this planet anymore, with the bizarre reversals in basic sense of priorities here.
- lagadu 9y agoI feel they are both socially important.
