Let me get this straight:

- You: vote for people makings laws

- Companies: comply with legislations they are bound to comply with

- you: Censorship!

I understand that not everyone gets a chance to vote for laws in the world, but for a company to do business in any country you have to comply with regulations.





Democracy is a tool we hope makes good decisions. If the democracy voted to have you killed, would you agree with that? If not, stop fetishizing democracy as a process, and instead start supporting outcomes that agree with liberty and justice.

I mean, Constitution? Nobody 'fetishizing' democracy, what you describe is just not how it works.

value outcomes, not process

Some types of censorship are popular and voters in democracies vote for polticians who pass and enforce such laws. A company that is censoring you because they are legally obligated to is still censoring you.
