When someone says they want to create a haven for NeoNazis and pedophiles, I just want to check in and see if they've thought things through. It's hilarious how you're calling me names for pointing out the obious problem instead of trying to come up with any way to mitigate the harm.
I don't think you'll be doing enough good to make a net positive from your child pornography and Nazi haven. Have fun though.
You are the only one talking about Nazis and Porn. Your argument reeks of strawman, attacking the concept for something it isn't even.
You know who it does protect? Minorities, freedom fighters, people trying to get in and out of bad situations with fascist governments and restrictions on what they can say and who they can speak out against.
People like you, you specifically, you are exactly the problem.
I'm sorry you haven't seen every other "haven for free speech" turn into a haven for NeoNazis and pedophiles. Pardon me for actually understanding how things work, and remembering Reddit, Voat, the Chans, etc. it's funny you're acting like bringing up how long it took to get rid of /r/Jailbait is a "strawman".
Call me the problem after you say how you're going to stop pedophiles from trading CSAM on your platform, not before.
And I've watched the things you're talking about be used to propose legislation against free speech, and the path you want to take is more slippery than the slipperiest slope imaginable.
Censorship gains traction under the guise of reasonable sounding proposals and always leads to misuse. I have no doubt you have good intentions at heart, but I super promise other people don't and they will use any legislation available as a way to curtail dissent, treason, and sedition.
I promise we're better off with havens for free speech.
