And with issues like this one

@Background Pony #F5C2  

 
That’s basically what goes on on this site

@Backgroundpony  
Huh. Likewise.

I see a lot of bickering going on

@TheSultanAkbar  
A free mind wanders off to unknown places. I just catched it and it was in this place.

@Backgroundpony  
Well you can free your mind. Then you may realise that all this is pointless!

@Selaphiel  
The bigger Question is who you trust more with your Internet freedom; the goverment or the corporation.
 
The People we vote into charge or the People that got into the Position to Control by their own.

@Backgroundpony  
Still poor excuse to strip freedom we do have away in the name of “decency” or whatever other false self righteous notion people seem to be obsessed about.

@Selaphiel  
True freedom is unattainable.  
The free-st you can be is to be able to choose what binds you.

@Backgroundpony  
We aren’t. But should.

@Selaphiel  
adoreable that you think you were free in the first place

Self righteous people who think people need to be nannied around for the “greater good”
 
 
I rather people be able to spread chaos as much as I disagree with them than be controlled by any entity that promises a false sense of peace.
 
 
LET US DECIDE FOR YOU!

@Background Pony #485B  
You think you’re above others and have legitimacy to decide what’s right or not don’t you? Your partisanism is showing based on the sites you’ve listed. As if your side doesn’t have their share of misinformation. You’re hoping this is a one sided purge. If it’s going to be decided by people the likes of YOU.
 
You have too much faith in the authorities’ ability to restrain themselves from abusing their powers. And too little faith in the people to decide. If they have the powers, they will exploit it. You’re advocating that we should lower our guards down as to welcome control.
 
 
Because “change”
 
I bet you’re that same bgp from the Tartarus thread who mocked people in the GG thread.

@Background Pony #485B  
I have another confession  
I’m more cautious of A17 than against it  
I don’t think it’s awful, but I don’t trust it.  
But I will respect the views if both sides.

@Selaphiel  
Because letting the masses deciding everything worked so well so far.“Popular wisdom” is a big fat lie and Internet is breathing on its populist fumes for far too long.  

 
@TexasUberAlles  
“Perform surgery on the cancer instead of setting the entire hospital on fire and declaring cancer Over Forever, is what I’m saying.”  
You put it more eloquently than me and with less verbosity as usual.People around here like to throw their hands down and bury their hand in the sand when people point out problem,ignoring a problem that is growing and growing instead of doing something. Thing is :people are adamantly denying that there is a cancer to begin with.People try to make you think that this funny lump in your throat have always been here,that it’s an undisociable feature of the human body

Neither do I fellow random BP,though i have a confession to make,i’m not exactly pro-article 13 either,i dont believe Article 13 will be the harbringer of Destruction of Free Speech it’s portrayed as ,i’m just against the continuous naive and frankly adolescent if not childish idealization of the Internet that subsist nowaday, i believe the current Internet is in need of change and if that wasnt apprent in the article i quoted,i’m fully aware of the trickiness that involve implementing any reform at all.  
Too much and we end up as Russia/China with social credit program out of Black Mirror and The Great Internet Firewall/North Korean Intranet,too little and it’s laissez-faire garbage where 4Chan,KiwiFarms,InfoWars and Andrew Auernheimer are free of radicalizing youth ,bullying minority into submissive silence using mafia-esque tactics,spreading harmfiul falsehoods that lead to measle breakout in otherwise developed countries like the USA and using the “muh freeze peach” card at each legitimate objection.I share The Smiling Pony opinion that realistically,Article 13 will do jack shit and will be a waste of time ,unworthy of the bellyaching displayed in this thread but you have to realize sooner or later,change will come
 
Current Web 2.0 is a sacred cow,it need to be challenged so it can evolve into something better

@Background Pony #485B  
Man, you worry too much. Who cares what some internet famous people post. People will whine regardless if they help a homeless person or assasinate the president. At least they living their life and not like some people that make their living thrashing others, jerkasses.  
Hey man, you want knowledge, go read a book or something. Beats watching someone else feed the info to you, what are you, a bird?

@Dave33333  
There’s virtually no difference between “Anon D3FB” and “JohnnyPowers89”. What, are you going to hound the latter over their comments on cute images of Fluttershy because of a Wrong Opinion on something else?

A guy who hides behind the mask of BP to express a opinion is a wuss. That’s just me, when it comes to stuff like this.

@Background Pony #485B  
I disagree with you  
But I have nothing against you

Ooh  
A Pro-A13 background pony I see is here

Instead of letting people decide and think on their own on what’s good for them. No! Just let the state decide for the people what’s good for them and how they should live their lives.
 
That is what moral busy body #485B is advocating.

@Background Pony #485B  
Go live in China or Russia if you love seeing speech policed.
 
>That guy should be censored because I don’t like him.
 
You’re on a slippery slope kid.  
Best weapon against misinformation is free speech itself. You take away those rights, you take away your ability to fight them.  
We don’t need stupid nanny state measures to deal with them.

@Background Pony #485B  

 
Use your filters.

Perform surgery on the cancer instead of setting the entire hospital on fire and declaring cancer Over Forever, is what I’m saying.

Organizing a class action lawsuit by parents whose kids were turned into HH1488 RAHOWAnkers because algorithms showed them MAGA video recommendations on Batman cartoons seems like a more reasonable approach than turning the Orwell Crank another five or six notches towards Doing This Bullshit Again Apparently on 447million people and 67million-Britishers-for-the-time-being.
