If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

Nazis.

Who is the #2 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who else wants that?

The #1 problem people who make and consume child pornography have is connecting the producers with the buyers. Any “censorship-free” network quickly gets overrun with child porn. Classic example: 8kun.

We don’t have to guess. We know.

Why do “censorship-free” social media networks always fail? Well, let’s see. Sit down and think. Think really, really hard.

If i let you use my computer network for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to kick you off. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.
