- grzm 9y agoI think here is where a potential misunderstanding is. I've said nothing about "people shouldn't be allowed to say certain things", I've been asking purely about whether or not there should be regulations or items removed from a site, including illegal material. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're looking at this purely as a censorship issue. There's a difference here, and one that's worth at least acknowledging. For example, if someone is posting something that is illegal, the appropriate authorities will both remove it from the post and attempt to go after the persons responsible for posting it, whether that's online or in the real world. There's room for discussion, but first we have to figure out exactly what where' discussing, otherwise we're just taking past each other, and accomplishing nothing.
