If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

Why do “censorship-free” social media networks always fail? Well, let’s see. Sit down and think. Think really, really hard.

Child pornographers.

The #1 problem people who make and consume child pornography have is connecting the producers with the buyers. Any “censorship-free” network quickly gets overrun with child porn. Classic example: 8kun.

Are you going to stay on a social media site that’s all photos of babies being raped, Nazis posting graphic descriptions of finishing what Hitler started, and plans for school shootings?

We don’t have to guess. We know.

If I let you borrow my bike for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to take it back. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.

The #3 user? Terrorists. 8kun was used to plan 3 different school shootings in a 6-month period.
