Compare the position "Airbnb shouldn't refuse service to a prostitute" with "AWS shouldn't refuse service to Parler" or "CloudFlare shouldn't refuse service to Kiwi Farms". When people agree with the former but not the latter, what argument/principle are they using?
- 0cVlTeIATBs 4y agoNot that I agree, but the argument might sound like "tolerate all but the intolerant."
- LightHugger 4y agoUnder that regime, people drawing shallow lines for who is intolerant... would be categorizeable as intolerant themselves... what a mess this is

- Dylan16807 4y agoTell me you're joking. No, the "contradiction" from taking the short version literally, without even ten seconds of thought put into it, is not actually a thing. Following the rule doesn't count as intolerance to itself. Come on.
- LightHugger 4y agoI feel like it's impossible to not notice it happening these-days, and the people likely not to notice are the people doing it! Of course it's a thing! It's literally everywhere! And if you're involved, stop.
- leereeves 4y agoThe problem with that argument is that there are many groups of people it's ok to be intolerant toward, according to the people making such judgements. A more accurate statement would be "tolerate all but people who offend certain favored groups".
- crtasm 4y agoDoes it make sense to compare a website to a person? Are the people who made those sites blocked from using AWS/Cloudflare for other purposes? Are their partners also blocked (as happened in this article)?
