We are seeing an emerging system of privatized sanctions enacted by a collusive tech oligopoly. Safari allows people to view any content they want on the Web.

We are seeing an emerging system of privatized sanctions enacted by a collusive tech oligopoly. Safari allows people to view any content they want on the Web. I wonder if they will ever move to only allowing users to go to specifically allowed websites?

It's not tolerant to tolerate intolerance, it's suicidal. Insurrectionists don't like it? They can build their own internet, their own web browsers, their own mobile phones, cell towers, power generation, power lines, etc. It's a free country. But we all know they can't do any of that. So yeah: don't expect peaceful, civil people (aka Democrats) to help Trump's insurrectionists crash the system and overthrow the government.

    Well, you could always storm the Capitol again and try to overthrow the government.

  What happens if peaceful, civil people think the insurrectionists crashed the system, overthrowed the government and installed Biden?

  We're just going to cut to the chase and build our own country.

    Your guy couldn't even build a wall, so good luck with that.

      It's not a trump thing. And its already happening. People are seceding from the media, corporations, monetary system, education system, and government (but not provacatively).

  Ok, so who gets to decide what is labeled as intolerance? The person who decides has all the power because that person decides who can speak and what they can say. Consequently, when there exists such a person (or group of persons), the society is no longer a democracy but a dictatorship.

    Very hard for some people to grasp apparently.

    Hint: the intolerant people are the ones violently storming the Capitol because their guy didn't get elected. That's the actual "dictatorship" threat. "Democracy" is when the person with the most electoral votes assumes office on Jan 20th. The US is a democracy, and Biden is your next President.

they will just revoke certificates for disallowed websites and safari will have no way of showing them.
