I find this interesting, Why is Parler a right-wing thing? Why do right-wingers feel the need for a different platform without censorship? Why doesn't left wing people feel the same need? I would assume both wings are equally censored?

For what it is worth, I'm not on either platform and I'm convinced platforms such as these are a net-negative for humankind. I understand this is super-political and may not lend itself to an online discussion.

Out of curiosity, in what way is Wil Wheaton incredibly toxic and how does he turn people to the alt-right? I did some googling, but couldn't find anything specific.

I understand you feel Swedish law is too harsh on this, but surely that is besides the point since Assange was in Sweden at the time of the alleged crime? It doesn't really matter if his actions qualifies as rape in any other country or not if they do in Sweden (which was for the courts to decide).

Not sure if this is a joke or a mistake since the English "glass" is "glas" in Swedish, but the Swedish "glass" is "ice cream" in English. The correct translation in Swedish would be "Jag kan äta glas, det skadar inte mig".

You are correct on Finland, you are wrong on Sweden. In fact, Sweden is not even mentioned in your source so not sure where you got it from.

Finland does. Sweden and Denmark do not. Norway I don't know, but suspect not.

Source: I live in Sweden and recently got caught by a speed camera in Denmark.

The Swedish Bank ID also disallows copy/paste of passwords. When I contacted the company that builds the solution I got more or less the same response, "it is safer for normal users" which I didn't really understand. Highly annoying.

> Once the EU agrees to provide UK in EU with exactly the same rights as the UK is offering them

Will EU do this though? Seems strange to allow UK both to be in and out of the EU at the same time.

Would the future then not hold social media that were invite-only in some way?

It would be nice of you to provide some sources for your claims. I don't know if you are right or not, but at least providing links to the articles you are referring to would be appreciated.
