Any decision about censorship is a compromise of some kind between open communication/access to information and the prevention of the spread of content that could be deemed harmful in some way or another.
Maybe I’m just being thick right now but I’m really not sure who are supposed to be the “children”. It seems it could just as easily be the CPC for being uncompromising in their censorship of the internet, fascist trolls who say they should have a right to use slurs and disinformation to incite violence, or liberals who are unwilling to accept that a hardline stance needs to be taken to censor the fascists.
I’m unsure if this is an enlightened centrist take, you saying the CPC (and similar) do what needs to be done or that we need our freedom and the commenter above is the child. Whatever you mean, your comment (at least to me) comes across a bit rude and unconstructive.
Ok your comment successfully ragebaited me so tbh I’m probably the child.
Edit: changed CCP to CPC because that is the technically correct term, even though for some reason most English language outlets use “CCP”
it means having fair media is more important than letting bad actors be completely free to taint it in the name of some vague idea of freedom.
which is fake anyway, because that freedom is usually suppressed from people in favor of letting oligarchs pretend their evil shenanigans are free speech.
What do you even mean here?
