Why is the internet so restrictive? Why is it impossible to find a place where you can express yourself fully?

Who would use a site that lets you express absolutely anything?

The internet is restrictive because it’s other people’s stuff. You don’t have the right to use other people’s stuff for free. If you do use other people’s stuff, they have the right to tell you what you can and can’t do with it, and to tell you to stop using it if they want to.

So they lost their hosting, made some changes, found a new host, and came back with new rules: you can express absolutely anything except child porn.

Why are people so terrified or bothered that a person has original creative ideas, hobbies or unique interests?

That’s right, terrorists. It started swarming with ISIS recruiters and people planning terrorist attacks.

Why is the Internet restrictive about what you can say? I wonder…

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

So they lost their hosting again, made some changes again, found a new host, and came back with new rules: you can express absolutely anything except child porn or terrorism..

That’s right, spree killers. In a single six-month period, it was used to plan and coordinate not one, not two, but three mass murder rampages.

That’s right: child pornographers. Within months, 8chan was absolutely flooded with child porn. And I don’t mean child porn like 17-year-olds posing nude, I mean child porn like graphic photos of 6-month-old babies being raped.

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

What happens if there’s a site that lets you say whatever you want with no restrictions? We don’t have to wonder or guess. We know, because there have been such sites, like 8chan. 8chan let anyone say anything they wanted to without restriction. What happened?

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

It’s impossible to find a place to express yourself without restriction for reasons that are obvious if you think about it.
