I can't believe this needs to be stated, but the objection that normal people have to censorship is that we don't want a small handful of corporations and celebrity bullies to be the ones who get to decide what is or isn't "legitimate voice", as you put it.
- codingdave 8y ago"normal people"? This is a discussion that has some serious points on both sides. I don't believe throwing judgments on the people who choose a side that differs from your own will be helpful.
- wu-ikkyu 8y agoI think they meant "normal people" as in not a corporation or a celebrity
- close04 8y agoI tend to use regular people just to avoid this confusion :).
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoIIUC, in U.S. jurisprudence the term "natural person" serves that role.
- close04 8y agoThis is slightly different. It's to differentiate between individual entity and legal entity. But normal/regular person can be used as opposed to celebrity, or billionaire. Both Jeff Bezos and myself are natural persons. Only one is a normal/regular person :).
