    About half the people who completely demonize this will still call for some form of it in America. “We won’t abuse it unlike them.” “We need to stomp out hate speech” “Think of the children”.

    This is disgusting no matter what, and even if you somehow think a current government won’t abuse this, what happens when someone else runs the government?

      Couldn’t agree more! This is why the internet needs to stay as it is: anonymous, uncensored and open to all. At this point a free and open internet is an essential part of liberty.

        Internet is hardly anonymous unless out really go out of your…

        It is very much censored just not here so far.

        It us vaguely open to all but we got some barriers. But access in US is good.
