Infrastructure platforms shouldn't be the deciders of what gets hosted online. Sure, those sites aren't nice places. But I'd much rather have governments take action on them if they are illegal than have CEOs in mega corps decide in combination with the court of twitter. Services like domain name providers and ddos protection are so essential for putting content online that they should be regulated as utilities. It would be absurd for a power or water company to cut service because they decided something legal but undesirable was happening at a building just because enough people tweeted at them. There are some services that should be allowed to pick and choose what to provide. A forum like HN or reddit for example is perfectly justified removing whatever they want. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. But once you get to the point where your domain name and phone number are getting canceled, its no longer possible. |
