Why can’t Michael Moore just put the film on his website? He needs Youtube too?

  See, the “censorship is OK because it’s a private company” people always say this - and it’s strictly correct - but the only reason Moore can still put the film on his website is because the censor mob hasn’t figured out a way to stop him from doing that, too... yet.

  Allow me to quote some hacker news thinkers. "Deplatforming works." "didn't just impact the individuals, it reduced the behavior site-wide." This is what they hope will happen this time around too. That not only will Michael Moore become poor and unsuccessful. Other people will see his fate and never dare to question the narrative again. He can put the film on his website. But even then "deplatforming works". If it didn't, why would activists try taking him down? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18765913 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18765913 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19811297 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19811297 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18285832 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18285832 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22205504 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22205504 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23266932 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23266932 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23244652 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23244652 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23351391 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23351391 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19504550 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19504550 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20781422 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20781422
