Anyone on here lauding the virtues of totalitarianism - no matter how tangentially, will discover in time that the price of actual liberty really is eternal vigilance. I think it's fair to say that, if those who gave their lives in the

The only real counter to this is for those who get silenced in this way to build their own platforms for disseminating their point of view. The only fly in that ointment I can see is if those who control the indexing are themselves biased -

I truly hope gorhill is able to continue offering his services to the wider Internet community for a long time still to come. Our children have grown up on a, largely, ad-free Internet; and it's all thanks to people like him.
