That seems like a weird take. If 80% of the internet is spam (which it very well could be), is spam the internet?
I guess censorship is a popular thing now on HN. Never thought I would see all you people advocating FOR censorship. I’m happy Elon seems unmoving in his stance on this. We need to progress.
A lot of spam is censored by laws like CAN-SPAM act and fraud laws. Private mail services also censor spam with their own terms of service, with rules like DMARC.
I believe it’s called a “coherent speech product,” not censorship.
I loathe the poorly educated.
The internet isn’t Twitter, people aren’t advocating for censoring the internet, they’re advocating for censoring a person on a digital service platform. If you don’t think you’d see people advocating for censorship on HackerNews then you don’t understand what HN platform is, because bans, downvotes, flagging, etc are all types of censorship.
If you don’t like the platform censoring you, go somewhere else or do what Elon did and buy the platform and change the rules for yourself.
