I just don't get the incessant white-knighting I see against any criticism for such actions.


No white-knighting here

I just want to know what people are implying with all their language

"should do this" or "needs to be stopped" etc

When conservatives start rioting on college campuses to protest speech they find offensive, let me know.

I'll add them then.

That's their prerogative as private companies. As I said with the gay cake bakers, they can do it and it's up to the consumers to push back on them if it's unpopular.

Unless you’re an ISP... then you have no rights to filter content.

Hopefully hits to their bottom line. Suppressing speech on obviously today’s version of mass communication is a dangerous game

But it isn't.


Youtube gets to be the arbiter of this though.

I would be fine if there was some regulation that said sites over a certain size have to provide documentation on removal of users, and an appeal process.

All these companies are doing is creating a situation where a competitor can come in and take 10 to 20% of their business (not AAPL, but FB and youtube for sure).


10-20% of their market share would be an incredibly valuable company, yet no one has capitalized on it. I wonder why?

Thankfully your stupid arse was able to use "too" in the proper form.

Other than that, you're an idiot.
