I'd rather a political litmus test not be part of getting access to basic information society services. "I think despicable people have a right to talk, but I'd rather they be forced to string together two tin cans than be able to own cellphones or audio amplification equipment." "I think despicable people have a right to eat, but I'd rather they be forced to dig roots and vegetables out of the ground than be able to buy processed foods from a supermarket." Where is that line, exactly? And what is the rationale for drawing it there?

Where is the line? Before the internet you had to work hard to distribute your literature if you didn't have a publisher. Letters to the editor aren't a right. >"I think despicable people have a right to eat, but I'd rather they be forced to dig roots and vegetables out of the ground than be able to buy processed foods from a supermarket."

Businesses are not obligated to serve anyone, and it goes both ways and maybe the people making the choices not to do business with customers who have different opinions, sexual orientations, or skin colors should experience what it is like that it goes both ways.
