I don't get groups that want to outright ban something. It doesn't hurt you, leave it the fuck alone. Block it from your family, but as soon as they get freedom, they aren't coming back to the old rules.

There's plenty of things that should be outright banned, this just isn't one of them.

Yep, though you should always be careful what mechanisms you allow to be used to ban stuff. It's no surprise they're trying to use laws designed for terrorist and child sexual abuse, those are often the ones used as justification for mechanisms that would seem excessively authoritarian otherwise (those and money laundering).

The danger with allowing tools like this to exist is always that people get weird ideas about what other things they can be used for. Doesn't matter how loudly anyone promised they'll never be used for anything else.

Kids on social media should be banned straight away. It should be banned for everyone but we can't take it away from the adults.

Reddit is more like an old forum. It's still anonymous, separated by topics, you follow those topics, not people, etc.

I don't care though, ban Reddit too.

We should ban the public exercise of religion.
These people wanna act all persecuted, let’s make it their reality.

I mean not that I have anything against that kind of thing, I just don’t think it should ever EVER be seen in public. I mean how the hell am I supposed to explain the weekly human-sacrifice-and-ritualistic-cannibalism role playing to my kids???

Love the evil cultist, hate their evil cult.

It hurts their favorite fantasy novel. And that's reason enough for them.

It's not even well written.

Plot holes everywhere and no internal consistency.

Because once something is banned it's alot harder to get it unbanned generally.

They are religious nutjobs. There is nothing to get because they don't use reason and logic for their motives. They are cultists, not intellectuals.
