Why is the internet so anti free speech nowadays (including this gay site)?

submitted by johndoyle from self.AskSaidIt

Every site bans you in two seconds if you go against the prevailing worldview. Even the sites that advertise themselves as countercultural like 4chan stymie debate and encourage attacks on free thinkers.

I think it's funny that Americans mock so called dictators abroad for censorship yet behave like stalinists when it comes to discourse of their own websites. Even when they are anonymous and have no fear of arrest they not only tow the party line but aggressively enforce it.

This is why I support Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes for president.

Because tech companies are colluding with the parasite class. They don't want you to communicate or even think thoughts unfavorable to them or their interests.

They don't think free speech is a human right. They only pretended to.

I don't know Andrew Tate, but I doubt Nick Fuentes supports free speech. Do you have any evidence that either of these two support free speech?

The reason that the internet is anti- free speech and anti- everything good is because humanity is going to shit. Everything good is being attacked by modern scum. Most of humanity has to die before this will improve.

Because every gay ass faggot admin writes code that allows you to block and report users, which means they have admitted whatever is on the website is there by choice, making them liable.

You need a notepad edition of a website where you can't delete or edit anything posted in order to be free speech.

The question then, is how do you stop the front page being chinese penis enlargement adverts? lol

If you want to know the root of all this censorship it is (drumroll): Advertisers.

If you recall back before all this censorship started, there were all these articles about companies getting mad about their advertisements showing up on controversial videos on YouTube.

Actually I remember Rod Serling doing an interview about censorship. And he made the same point back in the 60s. It wasn't the TV station or the government demanding censorship, it was the advertisers. Coca-Cola didn't want their product to show up after a scene of interracial dating, etc/

Nick Fuentes is a faggot.

He'd ban me for saying that.

You cannot engineer a desired consensus by letting just anyone say what they want. Social media, like any private entity, reserves the right to specify what type of speech and opinions it will allow on its platforms.
