Or just bribe people in the government and have them appoint one of your lawyers to the governing body meant to regulate you. Why care how egregious your actions are when the gover…

And people are 'cutting the cord' because TV content is boring trash, and the media/news channels completely controlled by a few megacorps. You can't get independent or personal vi…

As far as I'm aware, net neutrality was assumed to apply up until a court ruling that went in Verizon's favor. So it's not a case of "It only came into law 3 years ago!" but rather…

What makes you think you're taking sides between two industries? The way I see it, and probably why Google et al don't seem to be throwing up a recent fuss anymore, is that the big…

I disagree with any conclusions drawn that censorship has solved any kind of problem here. Let's take the fat people hate subreddit. Okay, you ban every user and the subreddit itse…

I Absolutely have. Though with rampant censorship these days, few people have to build up any kind of argument to counter these bigots. It's a lot easier to hit a downvote button, …

When you ban speech, you don't convince people they were wrong. If anything, you convince them they're right. The only thing censorship achieves is sweeping problems under the rug …

Genetic arms race, or intentionally crippling your population to make them easier to control? I wonder which the various governments will go for? Are gene-modded babies going to ha…
