    I mean, sure, I will almost always die on this hill - but for something that [Insert excuse here]

    Now, if it was like an app that [Insert app that I like], sure.

    Really bro? Lets say you liked Jimmy. Jimmy was a contraversal guy and Jimmy had the Jimmy app on the App Store. Then Apple took down the Jimmy app since they do not like Jimmy, Jimmy is too contraversal, Jimmy triggers too many people online.

    You either die on this hill of being against censorship or you don’t.

    You do not have to like or support Andrew Tate to be against his app being taken off the App Store.

      I feel like your negative opinion of censorship is so strong that it overpowers your morality. Would you let a serial killer walk around shouting that we should kill everyone just for the sake of preventing censorship, or would you insist they’re locked up? See, even you have your limit.

      Its a less extreme example, but the same logic applies here. We shouldn’t just let misogyny grow for the sake of ‘freedom’. That’s how you end up with stuff like the Nazis. Classic bystander mentality.

        An app won’t kill anyone on its own. Just like how guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
