Honestly? That very much feels like a "fuck around and find out" situation and a GREAT way to piss off rich people in the event someone else gets blue shelled.

Also: Free speech doesn't apply to social media. You can and will be banned for no reason other than someone with the power was bored.

Oh man blue shelled is perfect

Oof, the back of those cards is designed as a shooting target. So much for plausible deniability.

Probably technically falls under free speech regardless.

And yet the card maker's website says "we do not condone violence".

Well, yeah, platforms (unless otherwise specified) are for-profit. Anything that would impede their profit stream is naturally going to be censored so that profit can continue uninterrupted.

Can’t have some idiot poor going around making richoids uncomfortable, they’d just pull their money, and that would mean less money going to the platforms.

Step 1: profit. Step 2: profit. All other steps: profit. EZPZ

Really highlights the fact that any free speech and naive western sense of freedom in these walled garden is just a button press away from being taken away and that there are no rules or standards. Whenever the owners or their friends feel even slightly displeased, annoyed or god forbid afraid the masks go off and the hammer falls.

It seems like this is not a case of "no rules or standards". These platforms do have rules and standards. The article mentions them, in fact.

Protocols not platforms are the future.
