Not now and not yet, but why wait until something becomes a problem before it's addressed? This is very short term thinking of look only one step ahead instead

Not now and not yet, but why wait until something becomes a problem before it's addressed? This is very short term thinking of look only one step ahead instead of viewing where this path will take us. I have no love for these anti-abortion people but I also see that this idea of companies controlling the content of the online community will eventually lead to the suppression of things I do care about.

Because the proposed solution - having government take control of speech on the internet and replacing free speech and association rights with compelled speech on the grounds that being able to choose with whom you do business and under what terms is too dangerous to allow - is even worse for society than the problem. Were the problem to exist. Which it doesn't.
- watwut 5y agoThe people who are subject to these retaliatory tactics don't care about whether you like anti-abortion groups or not. They to care that their info is collected by groups set put to harass them to the maximum. And the actual impact on real world people is way larger then what you worry in the post. You really don't get to talk about freedom while making sure this law is enabled. It is not freedom, it is frankly insane level of control and pitching of people to hunt others for money.
