I’ve noticed that a lot of my controversial, yet acceptable questions have been removed
Actually, my current observations would be that people use freedom of expression to cause harm and to offend others.
In a modern system, any freedom is a privilege that implies the respect of others. Since it’s obviously not the case, that’s why the legal system has to find a way to at least improve the situation.
Just think of the 100s of new viruses and 1000s of new spywares created each month, on top of the billions of SPAM messages to understand that something really needs to be done.
I’m not saying I am pro censure and similar approaches, but if you have a better option you should share it because I don’t see many ways everyone could continue doing whatever they want without others suffering from it.
Note: If you break a rule with what you’re saying, this is not a freedom of speech issue! Like I said, it is a privilege that supposes you respect the laws and regulation. If a rule says not to SPAM and you do, you’re actually causing harm to the system in place and to others’ freedom, which is why it can not be accepted!
