Who is "we Austrians"? I'm an Austrian and I have no problem with Facebook not censoring that video! Just so everybody here knows why the Austrian government wanted it banned: It s…

> "good for business", which translates to "bad for consumers" I know it's trendy to be left leaning so you easily get away with such generalising statements but ask yourself these…

> It doesn't mean that I don't have a responsibility to my neighbors and community to provide upkeep to my house and ensure it's aesthetically pleasing. Can your neighbours sue you…

I'm not going to answer such a question pretending you are a 3 year old that really doesn't know how media + government collude and operate to control society. You are incapable of…

> A private company censoring the content on their platform is not a violation of freedom of speech It's not, but a third party forcing FB to censor or me to shut up is censorship.…

Well I would say that is up to Twitter, Facebook and Reddit shareholders to decide since it is their property. You don't get to cancel property rights because you don't like the re…

This is the second NYT article I see here today that is calling for more censorship because of some unsubstantiated claims. These people must be completely out of their minds.

So what? That's what FB can do when they find an issue. You are free to sue them if you feel that you have lost money because of this. Go ahead, that's what courts are for. But I g…

Look, I'm a Libertarian as I stated before, I do not even want a government to exist as they are oppressive by nature but I recognise that there's brutal geopolitical competition a…

> They already have the passwords Which is a good reason to let them continue collecting them indefinitely? > Also, Russia doesn't and won't force any company to store users' data …

That was my point. As a libertarian I would in general tend towards not having the government involved with this stuff, but Russia and the US are two countries which have bad relat…

Why should Russia allow a US company to mine private data about its citizens on a large scale when it is known that the US government basically can force any US company to hand ove…

It is likely not true as this was printed in the New York Times. Their journalists and editors are mostly Socialists so they are bound to generate one article after another followi…

I'm pretty sure now that this mass psychosis in the West will most definitely lead to civil war. There are just too many people who can't seem to accept democracy or liberty if it …

This is _exactly_ how the Sowjets justified their own censorship. It's all falsehoods by ideological degenerates or by Western saboteurs and other collaborators with the enemy and …

Sorry, but I never got the news that it is now considered a good idea in our Western societies to censor information you do not like for political reasons. I'm probably a racist ho…

Strange to see how Google, a company that once refused to do business in China in order to not have to engage in censorship, now openly seeks to implement censorship in the West. A…

Well that's a hard one to answer for defenders of the politburo.

The notion that there should be no prisons at all is nuts in my view, there must be a way for people to protect themselves from others who repeatedly act violently. But the fact th…

I have no issue with education and teaching without coercion, what you are proposing though is use of force to prevent spread of information you do not like or that might cause peo…

> This has real effects that harm other people. That's why we have courts where you can claim damages. > None of the big bad movements you mention were genuinely trying to make hum…

It doesn't matter if I am rational or not, it is my freedom to consume information from whichever source I prefer just as it doesn't matter if it's justified to spend double the mo…

That's just pure speculation because you do not like Trump or his policies. Thiel is a very good person to advise on the tech sector and which direction technology might lead socie…

Why exactly shouldn't it be beneficial if we let the market (the viewer) without any regulation decide which information should spread and which shouldn't? If people prefer seeing …

I fully agree, though I didn't know that Fox News compared Obama to Hitler (I'm in the EU so I don't watch US TV) - which is equally unacceptable. But I'm a more of an optimist reg…
