    Yeah that is the law, it has nothing to do with anything I said. I am very aware the first amendment doesn’t apply to private companies and it certainly doesn’t here because my country doesn’t even have a constitution let alone amendments to it.

    I was talking about people asking a private company for more censorship - if you read the Wikipedia article you’ll see in the first paragraph it explains your misconception that censorship is only something governments can do. Private companies can and do do it, I think it’s silly when people ask twitch to increase censorship because you’ll all be crying when people can’t stream gta6 because society got so slap happy on the censorship that murder, drug taking and crime got caught up in your crusade against seeing the human body.

    • and I did provide a source, Wikipedia. I trust you’re not incapable of finding the wiki page on censorship are you?

      I don’t think you understand what the definition of censorship is. In either case, I’m not gonna keep arguing with you bcz its not really a fruitful discussion for either of us.

        I believe they’ve completely lost the plot. They invoked the word “Wikipedia” as a cited source, they were unable to follow any point being made, but their comment in a different thread from a couple hours ago actually helped me start to understand what’s going on:

        They started calling everyone a misogynist for no obvious reason. They were unable to communicate their thoughts in a meaningful way or interpret information presented to them.

        Further, 17 hours ago, on a post that was clearly pro-piracy and not AI related at all, they commented, “AntiAI bros raging at this.” There’s zero relationship to the post.

        I’m seeing a trend where they have their own opinions (censorship is always bad, misogyny is bad, AI is good) and then decide to share those opinions with tangential or no connection to that which they’re replying. They’re also fond of personal attacks and several common argument fallacies. Their comment history reads like a tribute to /r/im13andthisisdeep.

        I hope it’s merely age and maturity-related and not something more permanent.
