Aaron Swartz.

Guy was opposed to any and all censorship and was politically left-leaning.

Almost immediately after his death, such people started to die out, opposition to censorship has been a right-wing cause for about the last decade.

BULLSHIT. Opposition to censorship continues to be strong on the left. I was there for "Stasi 2.0", "Schäublone" and "Zensursula". And nobody could EVER justifiably accuse Wolfgang Schäuble or Urula von der Leyen of leftism.

It's continually the right that screeches "cEnSoRsHiP!!1!" when they get deplatformed by someone who has the right to deny them service, but it's also the right that continually tries to implement state censorship.

How would you fight the far right trying to silence you if there is no censorship of their hatred?

They don't listen to facts. Shouldn't you draw a line somewhere and say, regardless of what you scream, this is not acceptable?
