Shoutout to the guy who thinks free speech means you can post anything anywhere
Saw a thread where someone was mad their violent meme got taken down from a kids' app. That's not a free speech issue, it's a platform's rules. The real fight is when political satire gets scrubbed from major networks for 'hate speech' just because it criticizes a government. Anyone else see that happen with the 'Strongman' cartoon about the leader in Singapore?

My buddy runs a small art page. He posted a cartoon about local traffic problems, just a silly drawing of a mayor stuck in a jam. The whole post got taken down by the site for "bad talk about leaders." It wasn't even mean, just a joke. He tried to argue but they wouldn't put it back. Makes you wonder what they're really scared of.

Heard something like that before. My friend's blog post about park benches got flagged for "public disorder." It was literally about old people feeding birds. Makes you think, right?

Actually, that's not quite how it works. The site probably just uses a bad auto-filter.
