I've always supported NN as it keeps the free market free at least as far as content and services go, if there was numerous options for ISP's for everyone I would immediately drop my support for it.



I would also support something similar on the content/service side. things like a domain registration for example. What has happened and continues to happen to the Daily Stormer could happen to anyone.

OK, I can agree with that. The thing is that there are numerous domain registrars, and not all of them are within US jurisdiction. How would/could you enforce a requirement that they register all comers?

This thread is not about little `ol me.


Sounds like you mad! Jones popularity rises and you have to take your frustration out on someone.
The only poster mad on here is you because your boy Jones got what was coming to him, legally.

The train wreck effect will wear off soon enough and Jones won't be heard from again unless he is in court getting his pants sued off of him.

That is why no personal attacks(defamation- libel- threats), no threats, no bickering. They can in fact be sued for the content on these here forums.
Nope, they also have the same protections under 230. Forums are also a platform for user generated content, not an editing publisher. Moderation and editing does not automatically make them into one.

Nobody colluded. He's a horrid man who says and does horrid things and who kept violating the TOS on multiple sites. I am guessing one site saw him get banned and the others, sick of him and his bullcrap, followed suit because they'd been considering it already.

Yeah, I think it was more something they all had wanted to do on their own since he kept violating their TOS terms, but were hesitant to finally pull the trigger. Hard to be the first in a case like this even if it's very warranted. Once one company did, the others probably felt less pressure, so to say.

Not colluding.

When people cannot distinguish between a bookstore refusing to carry a copy of a particular book on its shelves and Nazis collecting every copy of the book available everywhere and burning it in effigy, you know they are beyond help.

Well, a lot seem to think a website is the same as the Internet....so yeah.
