I've seen the phrase 'threat to democracy' thrown around this week to justify silencing voices. If you're afraid of what someone who thinks differently will vote for, then maybe democracy itself is the problem.

Facebook, Twitter and Google are monopolies. They carry different weight than simply private corporations, and with great power comes great responsibility.

I think it's a blatant free speech violation. As long as Big Tech have monopolistic power they would serve as tools of political censorship.

Don’t allow ideological posts then alltogether, otherwise you can only expect flame wars, endless flagging, and more work for you. I’d be happy not to see politics on HN, but I’m not going to remain quiet when I see one-sided political argu

That's a tough job to be a mod, for sure, but there is also a thing called free speech which grants even lunatics like the scientologists, freedom of, you know, speech. And it doesn't mean 'free speech you agree with'. W

I think the best plan of action is creating a new decentralized free speech platform, as resilient as a cockroach, blockchain or scihub. I’ve sent a message to sama & pg asking to add this to the YC list of ‘requests for startups’. I ho

Exactly, move to Parler or start another free speech platform. Otherwise expect one party to dominate both government and the entire media spectrum silencing all opposition.

TLDR: you're right 'In common parlance, randomness is the apparent lack of pattern or predictability in events' [1]. It doesn't mean there is no cause, but we can't predict the outcome of the random process [2]. In

I’m surrounded by liberals and their bs, just like you. My only source of disinformation is liberal/mainstream media, just like yours. And I haven’t seen as many lies as I’ve seen last year, and this one, oh God. I’m ‘radicalized’ by y

Nah, I think I answered it alright , why don’t you go after leftist media and their propaganda , ask WaPo to provide a “good faith summary of other person argument” when they accuse ALL Trump supporters of being racist ‘white supremacists’

1. 4 years on non-stop propaganda by left wing owned mainstream media, amplified by online echo-chambers, will do that to you. Especially if the other side is labeled all shades of evil, like ‘racists’ and ‘fascists’ indiscriminately and w

Funny, I get the same impression when I go to Twitter, it’s full of far left loonies and communist sympathizers, not to mention raging cancel culture mobs, so brainwashed they disown their families for supporting Trump. And the worst thing

Thanks for free Parler ads. More people should be aware of free speech platforms.

Twitter, Google and Facebook are using Capitol Hill protest as an excuse to silence all conservatives, i.e. half the country. I think Parler/CloutHub and Telegram/Signal will explode in popularity. It’s also a great opportunity to

Yeah, the kind of 'progressivism' that calls for silencing all opposition through censorship, propaganda and intimidation.

That's all swell and dandy until one of these cultures controls the media and government and shuts down the other via every means possible, from non-stop propaganda and censorship to witch hunts and persecutions on ideological grounds.
