According to whom were people less censorious? You? Where's your data on this point? What eras of the internet have you lived through?
Because I've gone through the whole IRC and early forums era of 20+ years ago. People got banned, formed their own IRC channels or forums colloquially called treehouses and life went on. Blogs were no different and if a blog was particularly bad it would get banned and the user would go and host their own blog elsewhere. Hell, you can go further back and see Usenet banning stuff related to white power groups.
- chroma 4y agoTo give you some idea of the eras of the internet I've been through: I used BBSes. I posted on alt.2600.hackerz. I attended the defcon shoot before deviant took it over. In the past, you had to do some crazy stuff to get your blog taken down or get k-lined. Now your internet presence (and possibly your career) are at risk if you don't keep up with the new taboos.
