| Topic | Is censorship of offensive speech on gamefaqs "morally" sound? |
| GetMagnaCarter 09/09/17 6:14:22 AM #89: | Free speach means the Government can't (legally) have you beaten up, imprisoned, tortured or killed because you voiced a dislike of them or their policies. (Other people can't do such things legally anyway) It's a wonderful thing to have - ask someone in a country that doesn't have it and they probably won't tell you (in case the secret police are listening in). Owners have rights regarding what they own. If someone walks into your house starts and writing on the walls you can insist they leave and remove what was written. If someone stands in you front garden making a speach you can insist they do it somewhere else. The internet works the same way. Owners of a website can dictate what may or may not be said and remove anything they want to. If you don't like it then post your remarks somewhere else. This is not really censorship - censorship is when someone over-rules the owner and demands something be removed when the owner does not want to remove it. --- "Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you?
