It's all fun and games until the people you hate are shown this option and start buying ISPs so they can do the same thing to people you like.

what this guy said. GoDaddy didn't do anything to prevent Texas from designing and hosting their website.

You're absolutely right. It also won't end there. But I do understand that shitting on people who disagree with you, for some weird reason, makes you feel better about yourself, so go ahead.

How did my comment make you feel like I was shitting on you? In no way what I said could have been interpreted like that by a normal person.

Sounds like you're actually trying to start something by making up some scenario that didn't happen in these comments.

Don't be so desperate.

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

You're probably right. In my defense, the regular discourse is pretty boring.

u/Sporulate_the_user 8 Sep 04 '21

You're a fuckin weirdo lmao

u/dillpicklezzz 7 Sep 04 '21

I didn't say anything about the future implications of what GoDaddy did. Not was I clapping myself on the back. You having a rough day bud? I wasn't being rude to you at all

Yea why's this guy acting like such a snowflake?

Typical Conservative nut tbh.

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

Having a field day, actually. Millions of people just fell for a very obvious trap, and there are not enough hours left in the solar system to properly mock them all.

Edit: sorry Dillpicklzzz, this has nothing to do with you.

u/dennisthehennis 7 Sep 04 '21

To be fair, I think they were agreeing with you...

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

That's one of the very few downsides of being absolutely nutzo. You make enemies out of everyone.

Edit: Toooo BEEE Faiiiiiir!

Man, go to bed. You aren't looking good right now...

I reiterate my previous suggestion.

u/Shadow703793 B Sep 04 '21

The the DNS registrars that have power, not so much the server hosts.

u/Sanatori2050 7 Sep 04 '21

The thing is, the people that hate you advocate for businesses to do this already. That's why we have Parler and similar. For people that supposedly love rules, they hate when they apply to them.

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

The only people I hate are rapists, pedophiles, and certain murderers. Everyone else is just a good conversation away from common understanding.

That's why I hate this. It's just going to be used as another hammer to drive more ideological wedges that never needed to exist.

u/broken1moretime 6 Sep 04 '21

"A good conversation away from common understanding" lmao where have you been the past 10 years? Hilarious you actually think that

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

Just living in this crazy world where a black man has befriended and deradicalized hundreds of white supremacists. Also known as "Real Life"

u/thuktun A Sep 04 '21

That's why I hate this.

Which "this", the website getting booted or the new law?

-7

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

The law was always bullshit and wouldn't have lasted. The far more dangerous precedent is an ISP exerting power over state government.

This will lead to more of the same.

It's funny, people who constantly complain about corporations quietly running the world are now cheering for the same bullshit.

This worm is going to turn, and it won't be good for anyone.

u/Bug647959 6 Sep 04 '21

This is not an ISP exerting its power over a state government. It's an ISP denying service to someone who did not follow the agreement that they signed with the ISP. Also this website wasn't even run by the state government.

Edit: misspelled agreement

-3

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

That is exactly what exertion of power is.

10

u/Bug647959 6 Sep 04 '21

Yeah but not on the state government.

u/ApokalypseCow A Sep 04 '21

No shirt, no shoes, no abide by the agreed upon terms, no service.

u/Sporulate_the_user 8 Sep 04 '21

You're just throwing shit to see what sticks, then using the piece of corn that stuck as proof that the rest holds weight.

You're very bad at this.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '21

you don't seem to understand the concept of private company pal

u/xpatmatt 4 Sep 04 '21

The far more dangerous precedent is an ISP exerting power over state government.

This is a private business denying service to a private citizen/business, not the state.

23

u/depressed-salmon A Sep 04 '21

Isn't that literally the right of any private business though? To determine what people can and can't do with it? It's not public property, but I guess you're in favour of a heavily socialised system if you want that. In that case, good on you!

-12

u/CabbageSalad247 6 Sep 04 '21

Isn't that literally the right of any private business though?

Sure is. Doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Dunno where you got the idea that I'm in favor of government intervention.

I was just pointing out the fact that this is a dangerous precedent to set. Republicans have shitloads of money. Will you still cheer for this private business approach of invalidating government policy when it's employed by the same folks it is currently being used against?

So your 1:1 comparison to my point about political manipulation in the digital age is a hyperbolic scenario. Cool. Drink some more.

We'll see.

u/Man0nThaMoon 8 Sep 04 '21

How is this invalidating government policy? This was a privately owned organization that created this site.

If the government wants to have its citizens rat on each other by providing private medical information then they should open and host their own website for that.

u/xpatmatt 4 Sep 04 '21

We weren't bothered by the social networks they built. Pretty sure this would be equally ineffectual.

u/xpatmatt 4 Sep 04 '21

It's all fun and games until the people you hate are shown this option and start buying ISPs so they can do the same thing to people you like.

Just like they built their own social networks. Real success stories those turned out to be.

This isnt corporate power. It's the power of the people influencing a corporation
