- henriquez 6y agoRight, and if Facebook and Twitter don’t like it they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start their own ISPs!
- elpocko 6y agoLooks to me like this kind of reasoning will eventually go all the way up to "they can start their own society", and at some point, it will actually happen. surprised pikachu
- karmasimida 6y ago> It's a private company, they should be free to choose what kind of content they want to provide Censorship is just a classification of what they are doing. In both cases, it is selectively application of blocking of contents based on one's political believes. Calling them censorship is not an assessment whether they have a legal/illegal/legit/reasonable/unreasonable cause to carry out such acts. I just find this approach somewhat ironic.
