The colour of the ink is not where "blacklist" comes from though? It's not from supposed skin colour either... Blocklist makes more sense in most scenarios.

And yet you mixed strong advice with childish dismissal. But I agree, you should present your best argument, otherwise they'll attack your weakest argument and claim victory. Such tactics are weak in logic but often successful.

I can't stop the influence of it on my life by not using it. Perhaps it's not as straightforward as it seems to you. China didn't seem to be doing much with it, as far as the West goes. Not sure if they were using it against

The idea is compelling to consider though - I just saw a clip of comedian Romesh Ranganathan saying that a reason he hasn't cheated on his wife is lack of opportunity; another side of the same idea. Perhaps we would all be shit-head bi

It's said that Starship Troopers failed to do as well in USA because people thought it was pro-fascist propaganda ... it doesn't seem possible that could genuinely be the case.

As you suggest, it's clearly to curtail free speech further; but in a way that their supporters can claim isn't fascist because 'it's the companies doing it not the government'. We do really need non-USA based socia
