       @minds should be accessible trough the darknet. I2P, Tor or, preferably, both.Facebook is accessible trough Tor.This can be rather important, especially for users in oppressive countries.

       I disagree.The United States have unjust censorship too.Consider software patents. Consider DRM systems. Consider the excesses of c copyright. Consider Wikileaks. Consider anti-obscenity laws. Consider Wikileaks. Consider restrictions on encryption software.Also, consider straight up violations of the 1A and the several exceptions that are applied to it. To regard the United States as a safe heaven for freedom of speech and expression is simply mistaken and, in fact, they censor certain things some other countries allow.The US are better than most of the world (in this regard), but not inherently better than all other Western democracies. Just *different* in what they unjustly censored.But now, consider the few things we actually do want to see censored.Child pornography, scams, violation of individual rights (including privacy) can all lead to censorship in all Western democracies, US included. And, I believe, they should.To have a law you need a hard threshold and no threshold is inherently morally better than one close to it.Let's say that a country has 19 as the age at which one can publish pornographic pictures of oneself. In the US it's 18.I would not say that such country has a worse law than that of the US, or vice-versa. They are perfectly aligned in the principles, and just disagree with an implementation detail which is morally fuzzy, but need to be settled in the text of the law.[...CONTINUE...]
