It’s interesting how many revolutions and even small efforts surrounding the concept of freedom very quickly go from “freedom” to “no actually I mean freedom for things I like”.

It’s a constant pattern.

Principles are hard I guess.



I know. So many platforms don't provide freedom for CSAM.


I think there is space in “things that are illegal / harm” and other choices.

Freedom in general is always a compromise to some extent.

Naw most people have concepts about freedom and harming others like you describe.


"no actually I mean freedom for the things most people like"?


I mean freedom that doesn’t violate other people’s freedoms, like your CSAM example.


Drawn CSAM doesn't violate anyone's freedoms.


I feel like that’s a personal topic with you and the idea that someone draws some content and somehow certifies “it’s ok” has plenty of obvious issues unrelated to the topic.


I'm pushing you to make your own beliefs as consistent as you demand from everyone else, and you're failing to.
