Tell the right you are looking for Islamic terrorists. Tell the left you are looking for white supremacists.

Like shooting fish in a barrel; total surveillance state achieved.

Cloudflare maybe (although they did ban a few websites for wrongthink in the past) but domains can be cancelled more easily and even censored by governments (requiring ISPs to do DNS blacklists; that’s how France censors various websites).

The powers that be are now trying to “deplatform” Gab through their landlord... Crazy.

At least in the Soviet Union, or in China today, people were less hypocritical about censorship.

It’s my core political belief: you can believe in anything, but own that belief. Don’t use weasel arguments like “but it’s not censorship because it’s not the government”.

The Pirate Bay people are such heroes... for allowing people to download garbage Hollywood movies without paying the 10 dollars required to view them.

Using a VPN by Big Tech is like buying fire insurance from an arsonist. What is even the point?

I trust way more my ISP at this point.

Maybe Mozilla needs some introspection and clarification between their 1998 values and their 2021 values.
