what do i know.
It was more of a satirical post, so cutting one fragment out of context is kinda not fair, but whatever.
I think I have to explain to you what kind of a situation we are facing here.
Let's assume I have had written a post, where I called people to kill particular group of folks.
You would surely agree that by doing so, I have committed a crime. This is the universal truth, almost all, reasonable people on this planet would be in agreement, that I have to be punished for this. Government has the right to ask admin to provide them with logs of my conversations, where such event took place. Admins are legally obligated, they have to provide the evidence.
This simply have to be a double edge sword (the truth). If one person has the right to be protected against words, the other person have to have the right to write them. Thus the argument of a private platform is not valid here. If we let private company to censor, shadow-ban, de-platform people, we have to allow the same thing for the government because it is in fact a special kind of a company.
You can surely see how dangerous it gets when the logos (the truth, the double edge sword, the inherently good natural order of things) gets corrupted. This is exactly what happened here.
I'm more than sure it wasn't thoroughly thought out decision, made under the pressuring noise of the crowd. I'm aware that having a lot of bad quality post, would not only make admins to work harder but also users themself. The thing is, we already had every means to deal with this situation. Drastic step, that was censoring the sig-box, was unjustified and harmed a few, ergo it wasn't good nor necessary nor moral.
