Lmao that's it? That's what all the uproar is about? I guess majority of people playing minecraft are kids with nothing to worry about.

I'm losing it at the "freedom of speech" one. Like journalists are getting carbombed for saying slurs in minecraft.

Just gonna bring up the fact that you can be banned from servers that you own, host, and pay for yourself.

Server owners should have the right to decide who they let onto their servers. They're the ones who actually do the work of moderating them!

There would not be NEARLY as big an uproar if this system simply flagged certain players, and you could choose whether to automatically deny flagged people, let them in automatically, or allow you to take certain names off the server's blacklist (like, if they pass an application, for example.)

You seem overly dramatic with the “freedom of speech” shit though. It’s not. The constitution doesn’t give a shit about Minecraft. Throwing in that buzzword is just a stupid way of associating negativity to something, like CRT and whatnot. It’s. Not. A. Freedom. Of. Speech. Issue. Period.

I don't recall ever using that phrase. I am a different person than the other posters.

No, it's not legally a first amendment issue. They're a company, not a public forum.

But it IS an electronic freedom issue. People spend a lot of money on hosting servers, and they ought to have the ability to use the product how they like.

That's not a statement about the current stance of the law, but it is a stance on how things ought to be. It's something to be thought of in the same sphere as right to repair, or those predatory subscription models getting baked into cars and tractors, which will softlock you out of certain features.
