I wrote this in 2019 right after Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter went on a conservative silencing war path. Maybe read it while thinking about the fact they totally SILENCED an American President over highly subjective and very unclear and ambiguous so called community standards.

Facebook censored several big well known accounts that made news yesterday (remember this was 2019 when I wrote this). Guess What? I didn't like ANY of them. GUESS WHAT ELSE? I don't care if I like them or not, censorship always denies us the ability to choose.
Choose what, you may say?
To ignore, to embrace, to refute, to engage, to further understanding, to shake our head in disbelief, to know NOT to do what was written, to take action, to make any of MANY choices.
Notice how there are usually no DETAILED rules when people start censoring. Everything is most always SUBJECTIVE. This is usually followed by someone saying, "surely we can ALL agree" and usually, surely ,we cannot ALL agree on even the color of darkness, or if there even IS, a color of darkness.
When you HIDE evil or hate, IF we can even all agree to what that is, you allow it ambush status.
Talk to one another, read, refute, reject, embrace, use your brain, instead of allowing someone else to decide for you.
OR NOT.
