Why does government have a conflicting interest? Like, when has the US government ever taken down a website that didn't contain illegal speech?

- AnimalMuppet 3y agoTaken down a website? Perhaps never. Now, what about a US government-run website? Do you trust them to keep that an open forum for criticism of Biden? Or Trump? Or the Congress that appropriates money to fund the website? I don't.
- jakelazaroff 3y agoMy point is that you can just make your own website!
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoMy point is that, if the government makes a "town square", you can't trust them to let it be an honest town square. Sure, you can make one yourself. But then it's either for-profit, or charity; it's not government. So you're answering something, but it's not what I said.
