> If it's illegal, the governments should take care to punish the reponsible ones via the court system if it's abusive of the people patience and potentially dangerous, the government can and should shut it down. it's not illegal to carry arms in most of the US, but in some places they can ban you if you carry one, because they don't want to deal with you or be responsible for what you could do with it. it's not illegal to drink in many parts of the Globe, but some people could not want you to drink in the children's playground at 9 in the morning and if you don't leave on your own they might call the police. society has rules other than legal/illegal. it's the perk of living in what's called "a free country".

Yes, and some parents influence the schools to ban harry potter, because of anti-god magic, and those parents then organize book burnings (yes, this year - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/04/book-burning-harry-potter-twilight-us-pastor-tennessee https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/04/book-burning... ) Some of us consider this a bad thing, even though it's still done in some societies (eg. USA). If someone starts a harry potter microbloging platform, and the content there is legal, and the technology works in a way, where a want-to-be-offended pastor has to actively type in the url/name in the browser, to see the content and get offended, this should not be a reason to ban that platform. The same with eg. not being able to disallow customers of the shop that sells harry potter to use public roads. Internet services and payment processors should be treated the same as other utilities... as long as it's legal, the services/processors should not be able to deny service due to political reasons, because they believe harry potter is against gods will.

  > Some of us consider this a bad thing, even though it's still done in some societies (eg. USA). it's not good or bad. it's the price of freedom. what's the alternative? having the police to beat those people burning the books? silence them? kick them out the society/country? > Internet services and payment processors should be treated the same as other utilities I'm of the opinion that depending on the service they should have much more responsibilities than service providers. For example social networks that algorithmically propose content should be considered editors/publishers and be treated as such, including being responsible for the content they publish.
