There is, in principle, no difference between controlling what people are allowed to say and controlling what people are allowed to hear, including controlling any middlemen who ar…

Seriously! And this is the comment that gets downvoted? Who is to say what is misinformation, the KGB? What has gone wrong in the past 30 years that we are pining to be like Soviet…

There already was a civil war in the US, and that's not how it happened. What's strange is that anyone thinks that a second one would be a matter of the US Army vs. the People, irr…

You seem to envision a world in which one would have to physically travel outside the borders of your nation in order to hear what people outside the nation think. Do you also prop…

> Banning books I don't see how comments saying that are accepted here. Everyone knows that no books are being banned anywhere in the country. You can go to a bookstore or web site…

His account is 14 years old. He knows the guidelines. Why did you spend your time itemizing supposed violations of them? Meanwhile, I see in these comments many such violations whi…

Anecdotes work both ways. Apple recently locked and forced a reset of Apple ID accounts for no reason.[0] This happened to my elderly mother at an incredibly inconvenient time, mak…

What is weird about this? If a business fails to perform well, its customers can choose another provider, and the business will have to improve, or else it will fail. If a governme…

That's an interesting thought. It's almost like Chrome and Firefox have been in a "browser cold war" for years now, trying to outdo each other's version numbers, trying to entice u…

Rephrase, simplify, eliminate. For example, your comment could be written as: > Frequent readers here know I write verbosely. I communicate clearly, but few people finish reading m…
