You can look through my comment history here, if you like, to see that I've been consistently banging the same drum at least since 2020, but unfortunately without connecting this profile to others I can't show you I've been on it for much longer. Internet evidence might go back as far as perhaps 2010, but before writing a word about it online I'd already had some years under my belt telling people in person that W's national security letters including a gag order was hideously wrong or that the DMCA and its exception list process was unacceptable on first amendment grounds. I assure you, regardless of who is being officially censored or "just" denied a platform or communication tool to which they would otherwise have claim but for the content of their speech, by any government or corporation in any nation in any decade, it is, was, and always will be wrong. It was even wrong to try to suppress ISIS recruitment drives, and if THAT doesn't convince you I'm principled about it I don't know what will. And again, I admit we're rare, but I tell not vanishingly so. In my real life circle I know two others and online several more. I think we're at LEAST as common as principled vegans.

I would not actually expect anyone to provide the level of personal information I would need to believe you.

I am just letting you know that that is where the bar is for belief, because so many people flying under the banner you claim, have never actually been principled and only used the ideals as a cudgel to achieve their goals.

I’m communist leaning myself so I understand the pain if you’re telling the truth as I get the same level of skepticism
