If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

So.

Because you’re confusing two different things.

If I let you borrow my bike for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to take it back. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.

I’ve a dismissive avoidant partner who said that he’s overwhelmed by our relationship and that he wants to break up, how do I get him back?

That has nothing to do with social media.

I hate censorship. That is, I think the government has no place controlling what people say, read, express, or create, except insofar as is necessary to prevent things like terroristic threats, dissemination of classified information, fraud, false advertising, and so on.

You have the right to say what you want. You do not have the right to use other people’s stuff for free.

How do I find a transgender girlfriend?

The #1 problem people who make and consume child pornography have is connecting the producers with the buyers. Any “censorship-free” network quickly gets overrun with child porn. Classic example: 8kun.

Are you going to stay on a social media site that’s all photos of babies being raped, Nazis posting graphic descriptions of finishing what Hitler started, and plans for school shootings?

Who is the #2 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who else wants that?

Relocating to Sweden to save money. I got a job offer of 47000SEK before tax, visas sponsored for my wife & my mother (with a laryngectomy). My wife, a general medicine graduate, wants to specialize in Sweden. Can we live well and save 4000€ monthly?

Nazis.

Who is the #1 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who most wants that?

Now, say you’re an ordinary person. You don’t like child porn. You’re not a Nazi. You don’t want to shoot up a school or blow up the White House.

Why are so many Communist Chinese on Quora despite it being illegal for Chinese citizens to use Quora?

Why do “censorship-free” social media networks always fail? Well, let’s see. Sit down and think. Think really, really hard.

We don’t have to guess. We know.

If i let you use my computer network for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to kick you off. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.

What disgusts you?

Child pornographers.

“Censorship-free” social media sites quickly become Nazi bars where people exchange child porn. Normal human beings don’t hang out in Nazi bars with pedophiles.

The #3 user? Terrorists. 8kun was used to plan 3 different school shootings in a 6-month period.

Did you know God exists? 900+ answers later and no atheist has yet to be successful. Day 8 of asking Atheists to provide a SINGLE argument that demonstrates a cause for the beginning of the universe while avoiding the problem of infinite regression.
