  • That’s called being evangelical. You are being evangelical about Linux.

    This is the concept you don’t seem to be grasping. Here’s an example using vegans. Eating meat is objectively bad for the environment. That’s a fact. Eating more vegetarian and vegan meals is good for the environment and people’s health. Fact. No fucking sane vegan would expect to walk into someone’s backyard barbecue and tell them to stop eating meat without getting kicked out.

    Linux is better for users and privacy. Yes, that’s a fact. I use Linux. FOSS is amazing. Should people switch? Absolutely! But you don’t go preaching in the backyard of someone who is trying to barbecue without expecting to get kicked out.

    If someone is just streaming a video game and you preach Linux at them it’s within their rights to remove your comment if it doesn’t add to the conversation that they are trying to have with their community. Be that the “channel creator” or “YouTube/other company”

    A backyard is a private space and websites are private spaces. You will be kicked out if you barge in and say shit that isn’t welcome.

    Freedom of speech covers government censorship. None of this is hindering your freedom of speech.

    Do you understand?








  • Let me tap on the sign again cause you don’t seem to understand:

    Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It’s their right to make those rules whatever they want

    YouTube is not a public space It’s YouTubes room. They make the rules and yes they have the power. What part don’t you understand?

    Whatever comment you are leaving is unwelcome by the channel creator or YouTube and it’s within their rights to remove it.

    Once again: No one is obligated to host your opinion in a private space. YouTube is not a public space.

    So come on tell us. What’s the big truth you’ve been posting onto people’s YouTube channels?


  • Ok. So here the fun bit. I’m one of those people that does read them. I look into the privacy policy of the technology and websites that I use.

    Most terms of service are very similar and are broken down into categories usually. Finding the content and privacy sections doesn’t take long and once you read a few they all become easier to understand.

    You might not like it but “I agree” is enough to be legally binding. Just because you didn’t want to read doesn’t mean others don’t. There are a lot of laws and 10 sentences won’t cover that.







  • What do you think the terms and conditions when you make accounts are? That’s why they make you agree to them up front. You chose not to read them and ignore them.

    On YouTube the channel operator and the company have a say in how they want their space to be. You have no right to insist on being heard in every damn room you enter. That includes “just leaving a comment for those that want to read it”

    If the person or company doesn’t want your opinion in their room it is their right to remove it. Like it or not.
