You mean, like, a court of law, where people are only tried for things that are actual crimes instead of behaviors you find personally offensive?

^ This is a common Kiwifarmer astroturfing tactic.
"They don't know anything about it" but somehow they support creating rules that apply to no other site.

Wanting fair trials is a rule that applies to nobody else? It's a pretty fundamental requirement for democracy.

Not exactly. It's fundamental to specific flavor of western democracy that has become common in the world, at least on paper.
But you can have democracy without it. In fact you can have democracy with lot of other characteristics that seem weird today, like randomly chosen representatives, slavery, exile etc. It's largely orthogonal.

This is not about democracy. This is a private company.
If Whole Foods doesn't have to hold a public tribunal to ban someone from their store, then ISPs don't, either.

Dude, stop repeating this same thing. Everyone disagreeing with anti-kiwi farm stuff is immediately a "common Kiwifarmer tactic" according to you.
I count at least 9 similar comments made by you in this thread alone. I don't even know how someone can spam a thread with 9 comments without being throttled.
@dang - please have a look at this spam? This is an important discussion to be had and having this kind of inflammatory stuff is not productive.
I think there should be some sort of due process. I don’t trust people blocking some site I’ve never heard of without notice, a hearing, and an impartial tribunal.
