The -isms...

Last night I saw a forum post (that has now been deleted by the moderator) where someone complained about websites actually following up on their rules/policies. Twitter was one example. They choose to place warnings when users post/tweet questionable information and in many cases, accounts have been closed. It's against their TOS, Terms Of Service that simply means it's their site and you have to abide by their rules.

Note: that's the box you clicked (and didn't read the TOS) just to get to use their site.

The member construed it was censorship and stated comparisons to socialism, communism, fascism.

Censorship is different. For example... if you were 10 years old and said "Shit" around your parents... expect to be punished. If you complained to your parents and called them communists, expect more severe punishment.

Sometimes I'm glad we live in a socialist society. laugh

Some people confuse freedom with the right to knock off gas stations.laugh
Yep, C. So much invective, use of hate words, and those phrrases and words signalling guilt to the core, and broadcasting virtue.
Human nature, more in some than in others. Who would have thunk it?
Some of us were fortunate enough to have had genuine proletarian parents. Communists---not so much.
As I have said many times I am not into politics, and will never be.

But if one really has to be unbiased,showing no prejudice for or against anyone, and note when the TOS really kicked into gear then it makes one think that TOS and T C's only apply when it suites the owner of said site.

In my calculations all the TOS you mention and more came into reality when the Trump's 4 year stint was completed, only then did FB, Twitter etc. put a throttle to his norm of communication while during his term of office he was, undeniably, and still is, tarred and feathered like no other human being before him. Now its all coming to a halt.
Strange.

Just my observation and I admit I could be wrong.

Most people had Proletarian parents surely. Doesn't it mean Working class.dunno
