Do you actually read the comments you're replying to, or are you just picking a keyword that appears in the text and rattling off whatever comes to mind as a result?

I've long since learned to identify demagogues and ignore them when they play dumb ;)

Ooo ooo, do they use words like "talibanic" to try to draw some undefined-but-definitely-negative associations between dissimilar things?

oh, so you aren't just pretending. I'm sorry, I'll spell it out: that comment was not to be taken literally. I just chose porn to make my point, which was that I do not object to platforms having rules, I object to their practice of selective enforcement of those rules.

bless your heart, and thank you for your time.

Good luck defining a content moderation rule that doesn’t require discretion and judgment in how it’s applied lmao

Classic HN to take a problem like this and just assert it’s easily solvable while proposing no such solutions. Even SCOTUS couldn’t define porn and you’re expecting content platforms to define (without discretion!) a far broader set of far squishier concepts at far higher scale.

Truly classic HN.
