- MikeUt 5y agoIt's odd to frame not forcing censorship on their users as "enforcing norms".
- MrYellowP 5y agoNo, it isn't. Their norm is that certain things are not allowed to be spread, some others' norm is that it is. What you're doing is no different than believing you're better and everyone else should be living by your standards, because reasons. No, believing that something is "good" or "better" does not automatically translate into "good reasons". It's just you believing it's good/better. Good reasons are the number one thing that gets people oppressed, because people in general are stupid enough to fall for them. He's absolutely right. Worse, there's enough censorship coming from/happening because of the US, but apparently that doesn't bother anyone, because it's "for good reasons". You don't even realize the hypocrisy, right?
- MikeUt 5y agoLet me try to be clearer: Is Firefox "enforcing norms" when it allows access to websites a government (US included) has banned? Where does the force in enforceing come in?
- MrYellowP 5y ago"We're the good guys, therefore everyone who isn't like us is doing it wrong and must be pressured into complying with our norms and (lack of actual) values."
