but do you feel that there are somethings you can not say ...
becouse they might take your site out ... I believe other sites have been doing that for a long time now ...and are going to get worse ...
I understand the rules of the internet ...and life in general ... as to what you can say or can't ...

do you think having to tell your child when young ... you can not say that ...becouse they will arrest you ... kinda like discrimination ...

now if you do not like a certain country-> your words and site can vanish...


or you like a site that can have free speech ...
and not be ran by some of the top billionaires controlled media ...


I believe the USA has taken on the persona... much like other dictating country's ...

I could be wrong but I don't think so ...
I would hate to loose this site ... I guess is what I am trying to say too ... an is 1 that still allows some what free speech ...


drinker cheers to mingles 2smile2

Of course. They're listed or implied in the TOS.
I think.

This isn't "my" site.
This profile isn't really "mine."

I don't feel ownership or entitled to free speech here anymore than I would if I asked Uber to take me to a Subway restaurant and asked them if I could write a car for sale notice on their window in erasable marker.

now if you do not like a certain country-> your words and site can vanish...

From the internet.
IMO the internet is not a public utility. It's not public property.
IMO no one is entitled to the internet, or internet access.
Mostly because "the internet" isn't really just one thing.
You may just see it as such because you access it through a simple object.

I believe the USA has taken on the persona... much like other dictating country's ...

I think it was stormfront.org, the white supremacist site, that was kicked off by its host so it was taken from the internet.
They simply found another host for the website.

an is 1 that still allows some free speech ...

Most everywhere allows free speech as long as the speech offered doesn't really matter to anyone.

Speech is free, but it's transmission through various media isn't free.

There are too many opinions, not true facts on forums. Debates are factual data not pages and pages of opinions. More like arguments.

Not everything is free speech. Take the forums....this is a privately owned site. They have rules and the right to enforce them. This site was started in the US. Even in the US, the 1st amendment has limitations
