I didnt vote for Trump and dislike him for multiple reasons. I was just pointing out the irony of social media platforms bitching about the end of NN and all these what if scenarios of discrimination (while simultaneously using their platform to do what theyre bitching about ISPs possibly doing in the future). A private business should be allowed to discriminate against whomever they want. If some social media giant wants to ban hammer a Neo-Nazi and if some religious baker wants to refuse service to a gay dude all should be free and fair to do so. Oh, youre one of those people who holds views contrary to your own self interest for no good reason. Youre not making any argument. He's pointing out you decided to post your bullshit here in a anti-nn topic. Make your own. Define how it is bullshit and not a double standard for social media platforms to have freaked out a few months ago at the thought of NN being gone while simultaneously doing the exact things they feared ISPs would do under NN ending with their own businesses? If Twitter bans you, you can always use some other part of the internet. It may not be ideal, but its doable. In fact, you could even put in some legwork and start up your own platform if no one else will have you. If an ISP bans you, theres nothing you or your audience can do besides use another ISP. But, infrastructure and current legislation being what they are, that ranges from incredibly difficult, to impossible, to outright illegal depending on where you live. And putting in some legwork and starting your own ISP isnt remotely feasible for anyone except massive corporations, who are rarely the victims of censorship and have no financial incentive to do so. Itd be like the difference between blocking access to certain cars and blocking access to interstates. What do you do when large hosting companies boot you off? And when payment processing services like Paypal boot you off? There's only so many alternatives to use, which means that you're being disingenuous about whether or not there is a problem with that. --- Do good.
