My philosophy on anything like this, whether it happens to align with my beliefs or not, is that the truth shouldn't fear scrutiny. If a company, government, or person decides to show how right they are by banning dissent then it should be a red flag even if you agree with them on the actual issue. I'm all for self moderation tools so people don't have to see anything they don't want to but I don't need anyone deciding what opinions are 'correct' enough for me to see.

My philosophy after years of this is that there is no such thing as truth, or at least it's sort of like a mathematical construct; it may exist in some sort of theory of reality, but not in actual reality. Basically we all get to determine what's true for ourselves.
