I'm actually curious what's downvotable here. Is it because we are not to criticize Facebook and Twitter, here?
Because there's a (probably incorrect) assumption about my political views?
Because I'm suggesting that maybe the line "censorship will lead to more problems, not less" is to be "voted against" a if it were a design choice in reality itself?
Let's put it this way. Going back to Twitter. How would you feel if your views were suppressed. And if we can suppress views now that you don't like, what happens one day when the views you LIKE are suppressed?
It cuts both ways. Your eagerness to shut something down today can come down to bite you and you'll have no argument to stand on. That's why we defend those we disagree with, on principle.
