| > I’m not saying this ICE censorship is good I hope not because it’s bad and that’s really all that matters in this conversation. And nitpicking whether or not there are other avenues for information is completely besides the point. I don’t even really understand what point you’re trying to make. If you think this is bad, then say it’s bad and we shouldn’t be ok with it. Saying “I’m not saying it’s good” then muddying the waters reads like you’re trying to defend the action. |

| ▲ | Aurornis 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | This entire comment thread was me responding to someone claiming that people “in other countries” have easy access to information. Given the downvotes and angry responses I think a lot of people misinterpreted it as something else. I should learn to avoid comment sections about politics. | | |

If that’s not what you meant then that’s fine, no harm no foul as far as I’m concerned. I was just going off how I read it. If you’re looking for feedback, “I’m not saying…” without saying what you are saying generally comes off as obfuscating or at best wishy washy. |

| > I think you’re greatly overestimating the number of people who only use one social media platform and never check any other news source at all. When it comes to the _younger generation_, I don't think it's an over-estimation; they don't read news sites at all. |
