> If someone forgets to lock their door and a thief gets in and robs them, do you think it's fair to "blame" the person who forgot to lock their door? No, but let's say they've bou…

> I smell a fair hint of victim blaming here. Why is that a bad thing? You should absolutely blame and hold the victim responsible and accountable for their part.

I suppose the question you're asking is why we've socially moved away from doing stuff just for fun in an effort to make a “passive” income and monetize as much of our time as poss…

Hah, nice. My personal favorite would be wtfpl[0]. [0] http://www.wtfpl.net/

I find it amusing you continue with the Cathy Newman reenactment. >So the government should pass laws that tell private companies what they can’t talk about. Yes, they should not a…

I think that the last sentence already answered all the questions you just asked. "The government should keep social media platforms in check and protect their citizens against cen…

When you want to provide others with reliable software, but are unable to keep your personal beliefs and politics out of it.

Please don't pull a Cathy Newman. Like I said, for the third time: government influence has a negative outcome in most cases. I'm not sure how you got to a different conclusion. Th…

This is a win. Despite how we feel about Russia and its government, it's a good move to decrease Microsoft, Apple, and Google their global power. Now we hope that the open source c…

I understand that you have a rich imagination, please do not use it to justify censorship.

I hope you can see the hypocrisy and bias in your desire to ban ideas you dislike – it's dangerous. A better outcome would be to fight bad ideas with good ideas.

> It amazes me that people want to give the government this much power. It amazes me that we let social media platforms run freely with whichever narrative, ideology they enforce. …

> I hope that if someone writes a book saying people should physically harm you One could argue that calls for gender-affirming surgeries or treatments are equally, if not, worse. …

I believe you completely missed the joke.

Can't let that happen! The anti-money laundering excuse got old, which excuse will they use next? Anti-terrorism?

Please do remind me how many persons named in the Panama Papers have been arrested, or had their assets seized.

I would challenge you to prove that they actively advertised their service as such. Stop spreading misinformation.

> Actually they go after the people committing the crime AND those facilitating it. But only if it is in their interest. We don't see other services and platforms sanctioned for fa…

And it is always under the guise of anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism or whatever other reason they can find to excuse their inexcusable actions. Take mass government surveilla…
