      I agree, but what the Irish are doing is dumb. If reddit it hit with that, then so should Google and the whole of the internet, since everything can get you videos. No one should be in charge of sensoring the internet.

      He’s such a disgusting greedy little pig boy who frankly belongs in a deep hole where nobody will find him 🙏

            Does he know that his net worth will be reduced to either his useful skills, or whatever the next guy gains by killing him and taking his stuff?

            Seriously, you better have something real useful for your bodyguards, because they’re probably the first ones that’ll turn on you.

              There was some legit talk among the wealthy a while back about how to control their slaves servants… and the idea of bomb collars was floated…

              I can’t find the article at the moment (I’ll edit when I do because I’m still looking but my app tends to crash if I wait), but this is all totally on the up and up and it’s really fucking depressing that there are so many articles now about doomsday bunkers for the ultra wealthy… like they could have just pumped that money into fixing things but they don’t want to… sociopaths.

              Edit- found it faster than I thought!

            I love this idea of billionaires making bunkers. Pretty sure I can afford the quikrete and wheelbarrows needed to make this a better world.

      Absolutely fuck spez.

      But he’s right here. Just because he’s a fuckstick doesn’t mean he’s always wrong on every issue 100% of the time.

      Various forms of censorship under the flag of ‘online safety’ have been pushed by governments since the internet began to exist. And before that with print media and television. Censorship is not the answer. Never was. First it was for porn, then it was for video games, then it was for hate speech, it’s always something.

      But in the words of Captain Jean-Luc Picard,

      “With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.”

      Censorship must be opposed.

        I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word ‘censorship’.

          Who would you have define hate speech in the US? SCOTUS?

          Many citizens may agree on the definition, but I wouldn’t trust our government to draw those lines.

            Many countries have working anti-hate speech laws. It’s not really a big problem for freedom of speech in those countries.

              Those countries don’t have partisan polarization propaganda preschoolers writing their legislation.

        It requires them to restrict certain categories of video, so that users cannot share content on cyberbullying, promoting eating disorders, promotion of self harm or incitement to hatred on a number of grounds.

        Yeh, fuck censorship. Let’s all be shitbags and do that stuff instead!

          To be fair, censorship on Reddit is already very very aggressive. I was banned for saying “yay” on a news thread about the death of the queen.
