The scope of your reading habits has nothing to do with you ignoring the sources I listed. Them being politically slanted is irrelevant, given that most content and journalism nowadays has some sort of interpretation built into it. The articles — especially the first one — make analysis based on facts and data, yet you won’t give them the time of day due to your prejudice. So much for a wide variety of reading content. Have you gone to the lengths of finding tricks like using incognito mode and opening stories in other browsers to bypass the payment walls because you want to read these publications? I surely have.

I actually thought the last question was rhetorical, so I just to focused on your arguments in favor of these platforms using censorship. I don’t believe there should be any restrictions on free speech whatsoever, neither on the Internet nor irl. It sets a terrible precedent, no matter how small the censorship. Yes, this includes hate speech and ‘violent speech’, which in no circumstance should be compared to actual violence.

I have a feeling you’re still responding after only reading the first one or two paragraphs, or perhaps just shifting the topics in a direction that gives you more chance of ‘winning’. Just an assumption that I can’t seem to refrain from having given the fact that you want to call quits after I addressed identity politics.
