No, I was talking about blocking Facebook. I do not support blocking Amazon, there is no reason for it. China rightfully blocked Facebook, I think the 2016 US election made this clear for everybody. Unless you like Russian interference with election of course. Heroin is banned for the same reason as Facebook should be, people cannot handle it and it has very damaging implications for society as a whole. I think the rule of law should govern a society that is accessible for everybody, unlike Facebook internal policies.
- cameronbrown 7y agoChina bans those companies to 'protect social unity', a valid moral argument from a certain point of view. They don't block these things to benefit citizens. You just compared a website to heroin. Next you'll be comparing Pokémon Go to organised crime. I completely refuse to believe people lack so much agency that they aren't responsible for the content they consume. They can't handle it? It's a website dude. Say what you want about privacy issues but this is a nonsensical argument.
