Comment on The endless battle to banish the world’s most notorious stalker website
eee@lemm.ee 1 year agoRight now, this is analogous to having an active shooter walking around gunning down people, and a random person safely elsewhere saying ‘Don’t shoot him, he has rights!’. No, people are actively suffering and dying. Fix the emergency first, then consider the ramifications.
The problem is that the ramifications are clear as day and imminent. Other parties have been calling for ISP blocks for the longest time.
Using your analogy, the active shooter is walking around holding a dead-man’s switch connected to bombs in a few other areas. People like you are saying “it doesn’t matter that bombs are going to explode, just shoot him!”

Again, an ISP blocking KF does NOT mean it’s obligated to block anything else.
The fact Hurricane Electric hasn’t blocked anything else voluntarily should give you some clue that they’re not going to block, say, abortion information, without a law to force them to do it.
Nor does it set a precedent that will usher in those laws. Those laws are coming anyway, and only the first amendment might save us from them. If you’re unaware those laws are coming anyway, I suggest reading r/technology which has covered the various “child safety” laws being proposed. Or read nrlc.org/…/NRLC-Post-Roe-Model-Abortion-Law-FINAL… and eff.org/…/texas-bill-would-systematically-silence…
Fascists aren’t stopped by giving them rights they won’t give you.
