I have an honest question: many people here are not angry because they are not allowed to talk, but because a platform allows other opinions to voice. You guys never thought that one day, and this day will come, the side you don't like will be in power, and they may censor you like hell? They may brand your legitimate dissent as outlandishly immoral or hate speech or whatever, and therefore censor you, cancel you, or even jail you? And downvote me however you like, but please don't think that it wouldn't happen, as it has happened so many times before. Case in point, did you know that it was a crime to even listen to Voice of America back in the early 80s in China? And three years and 7.5 years for memes, however offensive they were, is justice? And just because you publish a comic to mock Jesus or whatever deity you don't like, you get to be bombed or beheaded or be threatened or rioted? Do you really want that? You don't think that all starts with something from the powerful like "hey, I think there's some misinformation or hey I think this is offensive"?
