To those down voting, you have to decide if the internet is a human right or not. If it is, it must be for everyone, or it is for no one. As soon as we make exceptions to basic rights, those rights get eroded for everyone. Because people in power will bend the exceptions to political expediency.

I believe in the tolerance social contract. You deserve rights so long as you respect the rights of others. Kiwi farms has absolutely no respect for anybody's rights, and hence does not deserve any themselves.

I agree with you in principle. My only concern is who is judging, and making the decision that someone doesn't have any rights. If it's private companies? That's going to be very bad for all of us.

Imagine a small town power company turning off the power to a small town newspaper because they said something mean about their cousin the sheriff.

Hear hear. Obviously this site should be shut down. But it should be done so on basis of fair trial. Not because of mob justice, or corporations that answer only to shareholders.

This is the best approach and one had has far wider application beyond just the internet

Paradox of tolerance* in effect

It's the paradox of tolerance.

"A truly tolerant society cannot be tolerant of intolerance."

Not, "A truly intolerant society cannot be intolerant of tolerance."
