		bllguo on Aug 30, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: ISPs should not police online speech no matter how... if you claim to support unrestricted free speech then of course this is hypocrisy. how could you possibly argue otherwise? "seeking to suppress" is still a form of speech. you cannot have your cake and eat it too. if you don't support unrestricted free speech that's fine, but don't pretend you do. i personally don't either.

people who optionally break the social contract by pushing hate and genocide as an agenda cannot be protected by the social contract.

They are the ones who are breaking it. Not me. Therefore, they are the ones who are removing themselves from the protections of freedom of speech.
