Comment Re:Censorship: you should oppose it (Score 1) 580

You're still defending Twitter and Facebook preventing voters from communicating information that's bad for Facebook and Twitter's politician. You should stop defending it. It's not magically ok just because there are a few other communication mechanisms that aren't censored.

Democracy requires open communication. Facebook and Twitter decided they exclusively allow communication only when it benefits their chosen politician. You should stop defending their anti-democratic censorship.

So you're 100% onboard with major corporations preventing communication among voters on specific topics a few weeks before an election? When Google and Facebook and Twitter get together to decide what info voters shouldn't see, you're going to be cheering them on?

I'd like to have a real democracy with real democratic elections instead of elections decided by 3 or 4 communication corporations' filtering out info that's bad for their chosen candidate.

The statement being refuted is that the information is hidden. It is not.

I said they tried to hide it or attempted to hide it, not that they successfully hid it so that no one could ever find it. You should stop playing defense for them attempting to hide information from voters. Do you support the Communist Chinese Party attempting to censor because they only hide information from some people? Do you defend it this way?

Claim 2: they're attempting hide information from voters. You can't prove they're just trying to something they feel is disinformation

They are preventing people from communicating this information. That's undisputed.

Facebook and Twitter shouldn't get to decide what news reporting voters are allowed to see.

Facebook and Twitter weren’t standing next to Biden that day when he met with the Ukrainians or didn't meet with the Ukrainians. We’re you standing there? I don't think you were.

If the info is false, refute it with facts. Hiding info is anti-democratic.

I completed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and it was good, but the Star Wars parts made it worse.

I also completed it, some aspects of the story I really liked, some I was not into... but bringing some elements of Star Wars into it improved it I thought.

I kept waiting for Cere to be an imperial double agent, finding all the Jedi and training them up. Then the empire would just capture them and turn them and they'd become the next generation of imperial inquisitors or whatever. Why would the empire want to eliminate the Jedi when that's the empire's source of all the powerful imperial people?
