People always think they are serving the greater good when they curtail someone’s rights.

It’s not generally people sitting around maliciously wanting to oppress other people.

It’s more often someone who thinks they are doing good, and that “right” is just in the way.

You don't have the right to post on Facebook unless they want you to. They paid for the servers, not you. If you want to organize a protest, find another host or buy your own servers.

"People always think they are serving the greater good when they curtail someone’s rights."

always - really? Corporations lobbying government to curtail people's rights are driven by the desire for the greater good? Why am I in big doubt.
