It's just the Mods way of saying 'shut up Galahad, you're being a nob again.'

Cancel culture!

Cancel culture!

Not at all, I wouldn't have Notch any other way, ask him.

It would help if people could come to understand that "freedom of speech" does not equate to compulsion of platform operators to allow anything to be said.

Far, far from it. I just loved the irony.

And it would also help if the people wittering in that techdirt article could come to understand that the likes of Mark Zuckerberg going to prison because the likes of Facebook wont stop their services from being used to spread lies and to make death threats etc would be a good thing. Telling a female politician that she should be raped ought not to be free speech - it ought to be very expensive speech indeed.

Yes I'm sorry - I wasn't suggesting you were right wing.

 

[Notch7]

Shut up Notch, you're being a nob again.

You applauded when Tory govt prorogued govt.

You approved of Johnson's deals - he put through Parliament with no time to debate
You approve of the right wing assault on BBC - because Tory govt wants to avoid any criticism.

This govt has been trying to only allow speaking to right wing newspapers

This govt are avoiding publishing their dodgy deals.
