Why is the punishment morally revelant to the principle of freedom of conscience?
I bet there's a lot of people who would much rather go to jail than lose a Twitter account.
- emodendroket 6y agoBecause you don’t have an inherent right to use a Web site. I also doubt that that many people prefer jail to losing access to one.
- rscoots 6y agoSo you disagree with the 1st amendment in principle? Websites either allow freedom of conscience or they do not. The government supplying a "right" doesn't appear to be morally relevant.
- emodendroket 6y agoI don’t really find it workable to say that the First Amendment means everyone has to let you use their site to say whatever you want. Again, consider this very site, which is strictly moderated.
- rscoots 6y agoYou'll have to re-read my comment, that's not at all what I said.
- emodendroket 6y agoThen I don’t know what you mean.
