--- Quote from: IkeTheGeneric on August 14, 2017, 04:24:10 PM ---Terms of service aren't legally binding and they're only actionable to terminate service for users. I can understand certain arguments here but you're not making them. Here's food for thought: In the era of information, influence on social media has become an increasingly bigger entity than legal bodies would like to admit. I can see how "Banning users for their ideological values" may be a bad thing if it's taken to the logical extreme and an extremist entity takes control of a popular social media website and starts trying to push propaganda to further their own agenda. I can see how the ToS could be used to silence people, but it's not reasonably going to happen and if it does, there will most likely be a mass use migration to a better platform. --- End quote --- i cant see what better alternative to discord will pop up, the program that alone punched skype, teamspeak and mumble in the gut and caused a mass migration and even an exodus of people who dont even use IRC programs to it |

--- Quote from: Deus Ex on August 14, 2017, 03:57:04 PM ---Well, I mean, yeah? I think if your ToS allows you kick people off your platform for speech you find disagreeable it should be in violation of the 1st Amendment The only thing that needs to be curtailed are calls to violence, otherwise it should all be free to say. The only reason we're able to shut people up on either side is because we let them talk then debate them into irrelevance. --- End quote --- Imagine how annoying it would be if everybody who got banned from BLF said their 1st Amendment rights were violated |

It seems like otto-san is the only one that understood what I was saying --- End quote --- otto sans point was that businesses aren't the government and that applying government based restrictions on privately owned businesses and the likes is a terrible idea. ike, me and remurr are also telling you the exact same thing |
