>>14049051Censorship is censorship and corporations don't operate in a vacuum, they're bound to laws theoretically. And like anon mentioned, why censor someone that you can refute with logic and facts? Might seem suspicious to some. Maybe you're an advocate of 360 degree governance, I guess some people wish to stay children forever and let father state take care of all your worries, please don't overthink. I recommend Tocqueville, let me quote:
After having thus taken each individual one by one into its powerful hands, and having molded him as it pleases, the sovereign power extends its arms over the entire society; it covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated, minute, and uniform rules, which the most original minds and the most vigorous souls cannot break through to go beyond the crowd; it does not break wills, but it softens them, bends them and directs them; it rarely forces action, but it constantly opposes your acting; it does not destroy, it prevents birth; it does not tyrannize, it hinders, it represses, it enervates, it extinguishes, it stupifies, and finally it reduces each nation to being nothing more than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.
I have always believed that this sort of servitude, regulated, mild and peaceful, of which I have just done the portrait, could be combined better than we imagine with some of the external forms of liberty, and that it would not be impossible for it to be established in the very shadow of the sovereignty of the people.
Democracy in America, 1860
