Kiwifarms is on an extreme... but I would argue it does not matter...

THIS STORY RIGHT HERE...

deplatforming unpopular opinions is dangerous.... Who gets to decide what is dangerous? Did deplatforming kiwifarms really reduce an exigent threat against individuals? Unlikely. Mainstream news continues to report on school shootings even though the reporting has been linked to additional shootings. Kiwifarms would argue the are not anti-trans but simply concerned for children.

Is it all bullshit? Yes, it is ALL bullshit. I hate the crap on Kiwifarms, Daily Stormer, 8chan, take your pick...... BUT,

        China hates the hate of the Taiwanese when they are deceiving people away from their heritage

        Israel hates the continuous effort of the manufactured Palastinian fake human rights efforts to undermine their country

        Russia hates the insurrectionist individuals blocking the reunification of the Ukrainian region

        Azerbaijan hates that Armenian extremists fund a revolutionary effort in Nagorno Karabakh (which the extremists refer to as "Artsakh")

I hope my unpopular spin on current human rights efforts point out just how dangerous it is for a massive tech communication hub to unilaterally decide to deplatform ANYONE.

At what point does Cloudflare deplatform all gun related websites? (or just the popular ones)?
I heard that Muslims are all extremists... that sounds pretty dangerous....

Did Cloudflare choose that an unborn baby is a precious human life to be protected or did Cloudflare choose that the unborn are non-entities without rights? When you are as large as Cloudflare, the role should simply be service.....

Cloudflare deplatformed Kiwifarms -- It probably had not impact on individual lives (as claimed), but, it probably did reduce what _I_ agree is the reduction of crappy and dangerous communication. But the exigency argument is flawed.....

Will Cloudflare deplatform sites involved in protests?

Remember Tienanmen Square? The Chinese people do not -- Google searches from China return very different results than from the US. Remember when Google had a "do no wrong" company policy? That does seem so long ago.....

I am not arguing that Cloudflare doesnt have the "right" to do any of the deplatforming they have done. I am simply arguing that picking a side will always be a slippery slope, and it undemocratizes the Internet and turns it into another tool of power to control the flow of ideas...

Throwaway account, obvious reasons..... (which is kinda my point)
