You shouldn't be locked up for it (although there are certain legal limits even there I suppose). But if, e.g. a person like Louis CK turns out to be an a-hole creep and venues or streaming services like netflix don't want to work together with him anymore, that's not censorship. That's facing the consequences of your own actions. I wouldn't hire him if I owned a comedy club.

"ALL speech should be allowed without censorship." is a pointless statement, because WHERE should that speech be allowed? That context is crucial.

For example, what if someone wanted to make a movie promoting nazism, and no streaming service or theatre wanted to carry it? Would that be censorship to you? Would that be a bad thing? If someone would make an account on ProgArchives and would spend all day writing posts calling Hendrix the n-word over and over should that be allowed? Banning him would be censorship, and censorship is bad, right? Clearly, there are exceptions and the topic of 'censorship' isn't so black and white.

And as for twitter. I've seen some horrible things on there. People spreading their homophobic, transphobic, nazi, pedophilia-promothing crap for all to see. I'd say get rid of people like that, and good riddance. You and I might be smart enough to see that that person is an evil person, but not everybody is, and Twitter has no obligation to host their toxic garbage and get others. Nobody is born with the innate right to tweet. Twitter is an independent platform, and if some hypothetical owner of the platform wanted to ban scum like that, that's their right. The problem is where you draw the line exactly. Of course, Musk is only busy with banning those who critisize him, and forcing his employees (the ones he didn't fire, at least) to create algorithms that boost his tweets and his tweets only. Seriously, you might want to read up on Musk if you think about using anything he's done or said as an example. He's seriously a piece of human garbage and a pathological liar.

Just last week on twitter there were tons of degenerates mocking and making fun of the death of a trans girl who got murdered, merely for the fact that she was trans. If you think Twitter should have an obligation to not permaban trash like that all because "censorship bad", you're just as bad as those who spout that kind of garbage in the first place. The problem is that some people are so afraid of "cancel culture" these days, that they'd literally defend nazis before they admit that sometimes, some people should just be shut up and be taught their lesson.

Censorship is usually bad, but sometimes people just deserve to get 'cancelled' (again, it's not a real thing). We don't need our eyes and ears protected, but on the other hand, producers/streaming platforms/venues/directors aren't obligated to hire/provide a platform for everyone. There's a difference between being censored and facing the consequences of your own actions, and that's where a lot of believers in cancel culture start conflating things.


I agree. If you rob, rape, or murder someone, you should face the consequents of your actions.  As long as you don't slander/libel/defamation/Dox someone, than ALL speech should be allowed without censorship. You should be able to advance your opinion on war, medicine, culture, sex, ect...without companies or government censoring you. (Why Company's?  Because Government can put pressure on Company's behind closed closed doors)...  Just because you're anti-war or you criticize a political figure...the Electric Company should not be able to turn off your electricity. 

Twitter owner- Elon Musk released thousands of pages of Data ...proving that the USA government forced Twitter into censoring/canceling people. If Twitter took orders from the US government than we can be sure Google/Facebook/Youtube were ordered by government to censor/cancel.  Somebody's tweet should not cancel or censor somebody. If a person is crazy/mad/evil....I don't need companies or government to protect me from their words. I can figure it out.

 Is there anyone reading my words...Who cannot figure out if a person's  words are evil/false/dangerous?

Cancel culture isn't a real thing. It's just a buzzword that, much like 'woke', gets used and abused by right-wingers and grifters for attention/monetary gain and to rile people up against each other.

I wonder if they'll ever call him back.. That was funny. I remember hearing about it, but wasn't that interested.

Shane Gillis? He was unknown (by his own words) until he was hired by SNL. They find some Asian slurs, and the next day, they fire him, but he gets a ton of popularity and support from the stand-up community, and now his specials, or even appearances can get him millions. I think he's funny, especially with a group of friends.
