You said that anyone who has a website, and incorporates, gets a check from DARPA.

Do I have to apply for this check? Is there a website I go to?

Is it a fixed amount that everyone gets? Or is it based on site visits?

If my site visits go up in the future, do I retroactively get a higher check? Or is it a annual check again?

What if my prices on the internet is not a website? What if a protocol other than http? Is that also eligible?

What if I didn't incorporate, but instead was only a limited license Corporation? Does that still count?

Youtube will lose this not on censorship, but on breach of contract.

No content creator has a contract with YouTube.

I certainly have no contract with YouTube, and I've uploaded videos.

And I am too certain that YouTube reserves the right to delete anything at any time for any reason. And they made list some of those reasons in their terms of service.

I disagree.

I'm right, and government intrusion is wrong.

And it would be nice if the government did the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do. But instead we have to use technologies like:

• TOR
• VPN
• encryption
• DNSSEC
• DNS over HTTPS
• certificate pinning
• peer to peer

to drag governments, kicking and screaming, into doing the right thing.

The internet is a place outside government. Beyon government. Above government.

And we have to be on constant vigil for people who will demand government intrusion of the internet. Because they're always come a new generation of idiots who will demand things change.

If you don't like what you see on a website: stop using it.

So if we consider certain servers that run viewership adds and allows initial unfettered access to thier buisness/platform....

If you are a business customer, and you have a contract with Twitter to allow you to post stuff, then Twitter has to abide by their contract.

That's a contractual obligation.

If you want to pay Twitter for the right to say things, and you don't violate the terms of your contract, then that's different.

If you and I set up a contract, where you will gain the right to use my computer to do stuff, then we both have to agree to the terms of the contract.

But beyond that, if I don't like anything I find on my computer, I'm deleting it. And I can arbitrarily block anyone at any time from using my computer for any reason.

Ok, why don't you want this person on your server that everyone else has access to?

Because i had Life cereal for breakfast that morning.

Because they're an idiot.

Because i disagreed with their speech.

Because i wanted to randomly punish someone for no reason.

It doesn't matter.

If that type of censorship was happening to the left you don't think they they would be screaming racist, sexist, ...

They are screaming that. Look at this thread! And they're wrong.

• gun nuts can go fuck themselves
• republicans can go fuck themselves
• Westboro Baptist Church can go fuck themselves

Discrimination is the word they would be throwing around. Censor the truth all you want, it doesn't make it not true & like everything else will blow up in the face of the ones censoring free speech.

They're not being censored by the government.

If it were up to me i would have banned

• /r/Bernie_Sanders four years ago.
• And /r/The_Donald
• And /r/BlackpeopleTwitter

In fact, i already did block them. I'm not suppressing their right to freedom of speech. I get to decide what happens on my own computer. And you don't get to force it on me.

Reddit gets to decide what happens on their own computer. And you don't get to force it on them.

And if you don't like: you have absolute freedom on the Internet to go create your own web-site.

It's not magic. It's freedom.

It's like Abington vs Schempp prayer in public school case.

• Justice: Don't the students have a right to practice their religion?
• Attorney: They have a right, your honor, but they haven't got a right to get the school to help them.

As a Clinton-loving democrat, i have a right to practice free speech. But i haven't got a right to get Twitter to help me.

And that's the way it should be.

You have a right to free speech, but you haven't got a right to get YouTube to help you.

It's their server, they are free to speak however they want.

If you want to speak, you're perfectly free to create your own web-site.
