I didn’t say it wasn’t political, but it’s not just undesirable for immediate political reasons — it’s undesirable for nearly universally-agreed moral and ethical reasons. So implying it’s only inconvenient for politics is, in my opinion, misleading.
- the8472 7y agoThe political tends to encompass or at least subsume the moral and ethical aspects, as I tried to allude to with the realpolitik aspect. But again, this is just a tangent. The core argument is that it is best not to rely on providers that have the freedom to make political/moral decisions who they deal with because that freedom makes them susceptible to moral denial of service attacks. You are one moral outrage away from being deplatformed.
- wwright 7y agoI can see that mentality, but what I’m saying is that, personally, if I become a Nazi, I think I should be deplatformed.
