The whole thing makes me queasy--to think that somebody is going to determine what to censor on the Internet can never be anything but a bad dream. We can suffer through the hate speech and counter it with rational arguments. But once censorship gets going, it is very hard to get back from there.
- adventured 9y ago> But once censorship gets going, it is very hard to get back from there. There is no coming back from there. It's a global authoritarian wet dream. They've been chasing this goal for two decades now, it's why they invented the fake concept of hate speech in the first place. Specifically the US is the only hold-out on what could be called near-absolute free speech. Once that kind of power of censorship is handed to US authorities, the entire planet will instantly get darker, due to the vast scope of the US influence on speech online.
