Our world is scary, +and with machine learning we are fast approaching an environment where all +online consumption is expediently monitored and judged by unthinking, unfeeling +machines designed for the sole purpose of generating assholes like Jeff Bezos +an unfathomable amount of money. + +If you believe that shutting down legal websites allowing people to say what +they want is a way to safeguard against new censorship ("sites like this +are why we can't have nice things"), you are falling prey to a contradictory +logic where the only way to avoid censorship is to impose censorship on self. + +If you're not being censored because you don't say censored things, then is a +problem? Yes! This is how people behaved in East Germany and under Stalin. +People were even afraid to think bad thoughts, on the off chance that those +thoughts might manifest into criminal speech. + +The Supreme Court will likely uphold the first amendment for decades to come, +which is why the only way for the System to impose censorship right now is to +consolidate power in private industries that work nice with the government +(look at how all these same companies have ongoing government contracts). +In doing so, they can restrict or promote certain information to influence +people and make regulatory changes which enforce their power more likely to +happen. + +This is a trap.
