In the days of AI I'm not sure a photo counts. How about a live interview?

It was worth a shot.

I watched it to the end to see if he could do it. That's where I am now.

Mitch isn't even showing up for his own funeral.

I do agree that censorship and freedom of speech are related to how a government deals with the matter, so you are right.

However, free speech principles have, thankfully, escaped the confines of government control. People generally like to express an opinion and hear others - particularly on private platforms that are supposedly set up for that express purpose. Sure, set of terms of service putting arbitrary guard rails on ethical grounds (one's own) and see what that gets you in the long run.

Most of us already know the extremities of free speech. Saying 'great' when a douchebag stops being a douchebag is hardly ban worthy.

Or maybe it is, and if so, welcome to your weather channel.

One of the great many problems with the"celebrating death" rule (whatever that means) is that much commentary is generated just talking about why it it pointless. The moderators must have already removed the most violent opinions because most of the ones remaining are along the lines of "good, I'm glad". Pretty tame stuff, but apparently not permitted all the same.

If it is a rule, at least you have the good sense to realise that "celebration" is a pretty broad term and should be handled judicially.

You need to justify why celebrating someone's death should not be allowed.

I'm not advocating for anyone dying, that's a different bowl of nuts. Virtue signalling one's own ethical purity might get you off, but it only annoys everyone else.

No adds yet. Neither did Reddit once upon a time.

Yes, if we wanted to spend time on Fox News we already know how to do it.

So you are telling me that there are many ways of sticking rags in my mouth because a community needs to be protected from other voices. Gotcha!

Then what's the point?

Thanks Mate

Mate, that was so generous of you to go to so much trouble to explain all that. I've been on this thing for a while now, and yours is the first explanation to make sense.

Very much appreciated.

Cheers,
