Successes to an ends for censorship doesn't make it any more ethical.
China is a pretty strong economy right now - that doesn't make the CCP's aggressive forms of censorship any more just or ethical.
- dragontamer 6y agoJust because you don't like censorship doesn't make its use less ethical. Censoring porn and spam from /r/HackerNews is not only effective, its ethical. Its the only way effective discourse can take place on this website. ------ Lets turn this around. What's YOUR solution to porn and spam on discussion sites? Do you want that sort of stuff to just overrun this webiste? You're talking in one of the most heavily moderated websites on the internet right now. Discussion is supposed to lean towards technical talk alone.
