I agree with OP, opinions shouldn’t be censored, no matter how much we disagree with them.
Anything that’s not harassment, a direct threat or direct call to violence should be allowed.
To your example, if someone attacks you personally then that would count as harassment and be moderated out.
- duxup 6y ago>opinions shouldn’t be censored Let's say I have a platform that let's people comment, so outside of direct harassment I shouldn't be allowed to delete things?
- lommelun 6y agoWell it's not really a question of what you should do, it was more a comment on what the ideal solution would be. Is your platform as large as Twitter, is it one of the main communication platforms in society, does it allow users to wield social and political influence? Is it a proverbial public square? If so, then in my view a wise and emotionally mature person would elect not to censor opinions, realizing that there are more important things at stake than hurt feelings. Of course I might be wrong when claiming that censoring opinions and mandating a specific morality will lead to more conflict (see another comment I made in this thread for more on that). Maybe it won't. I guess we'll find out in the next decade or so.
