Discussions about censorship like this tend to take a sort of God’s eye view—-should we have censorship or not, as if ny of us get to decide and implement whatever we want.

Here’s a more practical question. Suppose there are two alternative social networks, one censored and one uncensored. Which one would gain market share?

Which is to say, this debate may not be settled via argumentation. But rather, the technical viability of uncensored networks, plus people’s free choices, may mean that we don’t get to decide at all.
