@terrydaktyllus1320 Memes aside, I personally detest censorship. I would like to see the populace become more intelligent and be able to suss out scams on their own rather than have the government essentially deputize website operators. How about you?

@terrydaktyllus1320 If you mean it should be up to the parents to impose that upon their own children, then I agree. If the parents aren't paying attention, the children can work around any measure that a website might use.

@terrydaktyllus1320 I agree with that so very much, and wish it could be applied in many spheres of knowledge. People should learn more about the tools they're using before they start trying to use them.

@JodyBruchon More or less the same. If you can't get the normies to put in the effort, then it's kind of pointless. Every extra step required puts them off. It's really kind of disheartening.

@Artekus Their problem is criminals in the government, not criminals on the streets. Besides, their job is to go after the criminals, not force a citizen to do it.

@VirideSoryuLangley Leftists are the worst. I would even argue that if you're even a little bit for censorship that you're at least partly on the left as I don't agree that censorship is ever a right leaning thing.

Yeah, he keeps saying this and I totally disagree with his stance here. More importantly, in this particular case of Telegram, the government is attempting to force a citizen to do their job. If someone is distributing illegal content, and I still say only actions should be illegal, not content, then it should be up to the government to go after that person. Of course, while I think no content should be illegal, I'd probably still dispatch a person to the afterlife if they distributed CP of any of my children. But adult P should not be illegal or blocked because it's up to the parents to prevent their kids from seeing it. This is why I think a parent should be wise and only allow their children a JitterBug flip phone until they're 18.

True, but such laws should never have been allowed. It was a blatant violation of our right to free speech. I would suggest that the US has been turning left for a little over a century now and if we don't recognize that and turn back before it's too late, we just may find ourselves ceasing to exist in the near future.

@AlucardNoir Yeah, but they should. It's a basic right of all sentient beings, and failure to recognize it is a huge part of the problem in other nations and why things are getting worse. Even in the US it's not fully recognized, and we can see what effect that's having.

@AlucardNoir You're wrong about there being no natural rights. They do exist, it's just a matter of whether our civilization recognizes and respects them is all. Of course, you're right about our rights ending where others' begin. I and everyone else has a right to do whatever we please as long as it doesn't hurt others. That naturally means that yelling fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire is not something you have a right to do as it would hurt others. This is basic logic that anyone should be able to understand, but the left wants to control everyone and everything so they tamp these rights down as much as they can. I'll say it yet again, the fact that we haven't fought back is a huge part of what's wrong with this world and why it is corrupt. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
