How do you discuss, examine, learn how bad something is, or what exactly makes it so bad, if you can't even refer to it?

This is a more idiotic position even than the positions espoused on those sites.

[dmead]

that already happened, en masse. that forum used to be a subreddit that was thoroughly understood and read by the entire internet.

perhaps you need another reading of mein kampf, just to be sure?

[showerrain]

Any association to mein kampf shows a profound misunderstanding of that forum.

[dmead]

There is no association other than these ideas are both clear rejects. I believe my point stands.

[Brian_K_White]

You had no point.

Your question implied that no one needs to read mein kompf, thus proving that it's ok to censor it, thus showing that it's ok to censor anything else you don't like.

Since all of those things your attempt at a point stands on are false, the point in fact does not stand.

It's not only wrong, it's unbelivably ignorant.

Perhaps I'm misremembering from so long ago in 1979 or 80, but I feel like they explained the fundamental problems with censorship, including reasoning such as you present, as early as 4th or 5th grade.

That's why I say unbelievably ignorant. How is an adult saying something that a 5th-grader k ows better? I guess literally I can believe that they allow kids to reach adulthood without ever being made to understand something so important, but I sure don't want to.

[dmead]

I think you're being ignorant to the realities of modern communication.

Censorship of libraries and press in the pre-internet era is completely different than preventing new copies of stormfront being shoved down everyone's proverbial throat on a daily basis.

[showerrain]

You keep making these wild associations. Again it has nothing to do with stormfront. Nobody is shoving anything down anyone's throat.

This is about two consenting adults not being able to exchange text messages with each other because the middlemen censors do not approve of the contents.
