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

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.

Nazis.

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

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.

That has nothing to do with social media.

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.

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.

So.

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

“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.

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

Because you’re confusing two different things.

If there is an abandoned house with no owner, can I live in it?

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.

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?

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.

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

Child pornographers.

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