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

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?

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.

We don’t have to guess. We know.

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.

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.

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.

That has nothing to do with social media.

Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?
