    If you aren’t allowed to defame and slander people in real life why do you think you can do it freely on the internet? There are consequences to breaking the law.

      You’re missing the point.

      They will show you reasonable cases right now to show that “broad censorship is needed” to help combat it.

      This is their 4th try at it by my count.
