Let’s consider this reality re: “censorship:” JimRob “censors” on FR.
It’s his property.
If we don’t like it, we can go to DU or Lucianne’s site etc.
I dislike some of the nonsense that flies on FR, ranging from idiocracy (usually reposted from Slay News or Gateway Pundit) to blatant racism. The upside to this non-censorship is I know who to avoid and who’s a dope (and I’m sure they feel the same way about me).
I’ve also seen lots of nonsense getting removed.
Net-net-net, it’s worth coming back.
Give the govt the keys, and there is NO alternative.
I’m well aware that sites like FR are censored by their owners. I’m a moderator (by invitation) on another site and frequently must judge whether posts violate the site’s rules or not.
The government actually censors quite a bit. All of those movie, game, and TV ratings are the result of government censorship. What the government cannot legally censor is political speech, and that is a line that is difficult to define.
