- LegitShady 5y agoOnce you put the structures in place you don’t get to choose what gets censored. You’re arming a terrible weapon that will already be used against you on the pretext that it will only be used for these two things - and it won’t be only used for those things.

The same can be said about media censorship around Cuomo and Whitmer killing tens of thousands.
