As a leftist I am sick and tired of censorship to a point that it infuriates me. I have had so many accounts on the internet banned on just about every site that it has completely handicapped my ability to use the internet as a source of great joy of having the freedom to express myself how I want to. I know I am not the only one who is furious about this and there are many more people who feel the same way. Right wingers are expected to be fascist and oppressive and the left is supposed to be the side who is against that and yet they left is just as bad at censoring as the right is and I don't understand how more people don't recognize how bad and illogical it is. We basically have 2 sides that love to censor.

Even "X" is supposed to be against censorship and yet still practices mass censorship and I have had multiple accounts shadow banned or fully banned from there.

Why can't there be a site like Youtube or Reddit where everything that is deemed against whatever rules they have is simply just given a disclaimer that the user who wants to view it just has to agree to it that they still want to view it? It is ridiculous that anybody likes anything that is "hardcore" or "edgy" or "outside of the box" including with their music tastes or comedy tastes or political opinions or whatever else it is they have basically nowhere to go in mainstream society and censorship has basically been accepted on both sides of the political spectrum.

And we're trying to explain to you that it's not what censorship is. You're taking about private companies that operate as businesses, not free speech platforms. Those companies will do what brings them the most profits. If most of their users don't want to see "controversial" content they will remove it. If most users want to see it and will start moving to services where they can find it they will allow it. And yes, those companies will remove content that they think is bad for business. You're basically complaining that platforms created to push ads at people through influencers don't let you post "hardcore" and "edgy" stuff. Yeah, no shit.

    You are too retarded to even conversate with. Censorship is censorship no matter what the excuse or reasoning is behind it and whether you think it is justified or not. Censorship is censorship.

    More people should be fighting against censorship....lots of people are sick of censorship but obviously not enough yet because mass censorship is still happening. Instead there is many retarded people like you making some of the dumbest arguments.

    Is calling people retarded the type of "edgy" content you're not allowed to post? I'm so shocked you're getting banned all the time!

    Saying the word retarded and calling someone retarded are entirely different things, dingus. Starting to think you aren't being banned enough as you obviously have a lot to learn.
