Nonsense. Chat control is prior constraint of speech. You can't argue that automated content filters are not censorship. You can agree with the ends (or what content is filtered, and even the governance), but the means themselves are thoroughly anti-democratic. And rife for abuse.

If this issue got put to a straight referendum, and won >80% of the vote, would it then be democratic?

See my earlier comment.

This is simple stuff.

Are you guys being disingenuous?

[bratwurst3000]

The problem is they see democracy as only the power of the people and not the power of the people in humanitarian context. So if 80% want to kill 20% that’s ok with them but wouldn’t be ok with people with a humanitarian democracy view.

Would you apply same approach to abortion laws? Because technically it is legal killing people.

Tyrannical democracy vs humanitarian democracy? (Tyranny of the masses)
