>I'm very worried of the trend that everyone demands speech control to fix something they see as an issue(be it legitimate issue or not). >Netflix makes gay, Google make Woke, Youtube kills people with high voltage currents ,Facebook makes Nazi, TikTok kills the environment - depending on who you ask. I'm really getting very tired of this cancel culture. Destroy something, remove something

Small and independent websites have been taken offline for less. Why should these conglomerates who extinguished the original web be given a free pass? Ban them all, I say.

I think small and independent should also not be taken down. I also don't advocate for free pass, I say we shouldn't look for solution in cancellation of people or platforms.

Close the website or ban the users should never be our first response. As I said, we should demand tools to counter this.

For example, environment protection groups can demand exposure, i.e. a link or a paragraph under the videos of the people who do these questionable things.

If this behaviour is an actually damaging thing, reach the kids in school to tell them what's the problem with it.
