Yes people cannot think for themselves, we need to make sure they cannot speak or be near us. If they make their own platform like we tell them to, we'll just ban that too, haha.

You’re right. Everyone is definitely capable of thinking for themselves. No one would ever, say, violently storm the nation’s capitol because they believed propaganda about election fraud.

  Yes, we will wipe every Trump supporter from the internet because of that. Anytime anyone does or reads anything then acts on their own accord, the political belief they are part of will be /dev/nulled into oblivion. So it shall be. Begin purge. Retroactively scanning 2020... 10,000 results found spanning 1 political ideology, billions of dollars in property damage, threats made, multiple cities burned, autonomous zones created, dozens dead.

I don't need an app to think for myself

  Yeah you can think in the corner and noone will hear you like you don't exist. It's about having a voice. It's about the main argument being "it's a private company" then going and banning the alternatives.

    I don't have a right to be heard, that's not what free speech is. I also don't have the right to insist on other people publishing my views for me (corporations are people now, remember). And I certainly don't need to feel validated by apps.

      Ah yes I forgot how pro-Apple, pro-Monopoly, pro-Corporate Hacker News was. Like it or not social media platforms are the new town square. Yes the current censorship is legal, it doesn't make it right. Especially when people make their own app then get banished on the only two app store monopolies. I believe there's already some anti-trust issues there. Epic made a 1984 ad about Apple. The sentiment here is generally Apple is a monopoly, today is different.
