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.
Child pornographers.

Nazis.
Why do “censorship-free” social media networks always fail? Well, let’s see. Sit down and think. Think really, really hard.
So.
Are there really people who still believe the Earth is flat?
The #3 user? Terrorists. 8kun was used to plan 3 different school shootings in a 6-month period.

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?
“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.
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.
