When was the last time a site got taken down because "others think it is not acceptable"? Please, name a single one. There's a difference between people simply "not liking" a site, and people using extremely well-established principles of ethical concepts and human rights (which have been refined over centuries) to decide what content is violating the "laws", as we call them, which have been generally agreed upon in modern society. Further to that, hosts have what we call "terms of service" or "acceptable use policy" which clearly define what content is acceptable for that host to continue to serve the customer operating the site and administrating its content. Again, not someone "thinking it is not acceptable".
- paulmd 4y agooh, that's easy: Stormfront, the Daily Stormer... ... hey, Kiwifarm's holding company was named 'Final Solutions, LLC', what a coincidence! ;) https://twitter.com/keffals/status/1563748563926089730 https://twitter.com/keffals/status/1563748563926089730 take a seat, gamers... we've found the REAL most-oppressed minority here (/s)
- dmatech 4y agoThe most recent one was probably Parler. Usually deplatforming is due to a moral panic involving a massively exaggerated risk. All sites probably violate the AUP or TOS if you look closely enough. But during the panic, you can't see that the risk is tiny in the grand scheme of things.
