If it moderates the same political speech simultaneously across multiple, supposedly "independent" networks, then yeah.

- uniformlyrandom 6y agoThis is Hacker News, not Facebook. Arguably, the internet ends at the network level (TCP). Everything above it is just the payload. Application layer disruptions are not internet disruptions.
- trentnix 6y agoThat's just a different weapon that can be aimed at the same enemy.
- uniformlyrandom 6y agoYes, but application layer "weapons" are very democratic. Everyone can have one.
- mhh__ 6y agoWhat is "it"? If you punched the mayor in a bar would you be surprised all the local establishments kick you out as well?
- trentnix 6y agoWell I guess that depends. Is the mayor a “Nazi”? Because they decided that was okay a few years back before they started calling everyone they don’t like a “Nazi”.
- mhh__ 6y agoIf I'm being honest I don't contest that the word nazi is being thrown around too much, but if Donald Trump isn't (even accidently, I don't believe he could formulate a view himself) a fascist I don't know who is - economic protectionist, social conservative, consistently praises "strong" leaders e.g. Putin and Kim, has been caught on tape trying to illegally override a democratic result in Georgia, the list goes on and on and these are excluding the more blatant offenses during 2015
- trentnix 6y agoHow about people who scheme to deny the speech of others? That’s pretty fascist.
