That’s called being evangelical. You are being evangelical about Linux.
This is the concept you don’t seem to be grasping.
Here’s an example using vegans. Eating meat is objectively bad for the environment. That’s a fact. Eating more vegetarian and vegan meals is good for the environment and people’s health. Fact. No fucking sane vegan would expect to walk into someone’s backyard barbecue and tell them to stop eating meat without getting kicked out.
Linux is better for users and privacy. Yes, that’s a fact. I use Linux. FOSS is amazing. Should people switch? Absolutely! But you don’t go preaching in the backyard of someone who is trying to barbecue without expecting to get kicked out.
If someone is just streaming a video game and you preach Linux at them it’s within their rights to remove your comment if it doesn’t add to the conversation that they are trying to have with their community. Be that the “channel creator” or “YouTube/other company”
A backyard is a private space and websites are private spaces. You will be kicked out if you barge in and say shit that isn’t welcome.
Freedom of speech covers government censorship. None of this is hindering your freedom of speech.
Ok. So here the fun bit. I’m one of those people that does read them. I look into the privacy policy of the technology and websites that I use.
Most terms of service are very similar and are broken down into categories usually. Finding the content and privacy sections doesn’t take long and once you read a few they all become easier to understand.
You might not like it but “I agree” is enough to be legally binding. Just because you didn’t want to read doesn’t mean others don’t. There are a lot of laws and 10 sentences won’t cover that.
What do you think the terms and conditions when you make accounts are? That’s why they make you agree to them up front. You chose not to read them and ignore them.
On YouTube the channel operator and the company have a say in how they want their space to be. You have no right to insist on being heard in every damn room you enter. That includes “just leaving a comment for those that want to read it”
If the person or company doesn’t want your opinion in their room it is their right to remove it. Like it or not.
Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It's their right to make those rules whatever they want
That includes removing whatever post they like or dislike. If you post something against the terms of service and your post gets removed, that’s on you.
How about we tackle the environmental issues that Ai is causing before talking about using Ai “responsibly”
Any use of Ai in its current form is not responsible or ethical. It’s an environmental disaster and threatens to harm the collective intelligence of every citizen.
Ai is another way to lower the intelligence of the general population and keep them under corporate control.
Accidents happen and if someone has to replace their dock, forcing them to overpay for a Nintendo branded one while preventing other manufacturers from producing cheaper versions or versions with more features is anti consumer and monopolistic.
Found the libertarian that doesn’t understand the concept of free speech. 😂
As BlueBerryDreams aptly put it:
Freedom of speech is a protection from persecution from the government, not an obligation for all other parties to be exposed to your speech. Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It's their right to make those rules whatever they want, and people can choose the rules that make a more pleasant space to occupy.
Nobody is obliged to broadcast your opinion if they don’t like what you say.
Awesome!!!
