Cloudflare becomes the ultimate 'moderator' by cancellation.
The same effect can be had by acting as publisher establishing 'moderators' who's only job is acting as censor, ignoring 'rules' or bending them to suit, or who create search programs to tag keywords to users.It's called 'keeping tabs' and is the anti-thesis to freedom of speech and Burst your Bubble of privacy and right to an informed opinion based on fact. That can't be done with a middle man who isn't the one with the information, or is attempting to limit or control that information that didn't come from them as source, and inable to confirm or refute, merely opposed or denied.
The darkest truths were always 'moderated' by lesser minds until it was discovered to be true.
Hmm...now where have I seen that recently...
Oh that's right. I made a post asking about the rules, because the mod allowed harassment repeatedly on here (certainly not just to me), and, in response, he rolls out new report function violations. Swell.
He selectively enforced the Golden Rule, called me a liar (many times now), and said I had malicious intent.
He did all this in the name of free speech, mind you. And then he locked my post to boot.
Ah, free speech.
Part of the problem is butthurt complainers asking mods to punish someone for getting the best of them. As a result, however, some mods are entering into discussion threads and throwing 'weight' around. Their opinions now become something if you oppose, you're taking a chance of being banned. But opinions they are. A lie accused me of insulting when in fact I was the one insulted. I provided sauce/proof of a point and was told "I couldn't get through the introduction" and was banned. After responding to the ban as the notice suggested, I stated my case and suggested it was personal butthurt issue and nothing more and to prove me wrong. So more days were added in spite. The point was left unaddressed. Hate to Burst somebody's Bubble, but that's worse than Reddit, at least they didn't get involved as if to set people up for bans. Worse still, a hall monitors' job isn't to gain information.....it's to report people. I've found that when an enforcer gets bored, they'll make up offenses to stay relevant. So why would a mod want to set up an algorhythmic searchable database of anons comments if not as a form of 'keeping tabs'? Just remember that enlightenment isn't done by committee, nor allowed by crybaby tattling and gatekeepers.
Those caps had me thinking of Media Matters, then Correct the Record, and then I looked that up and there was a CTR task force called "Breaking Barriers". LOL
