    can someone explain to me the difference between corporate and government censorship, when corporations and the government are definitely fucking?

          No. Nothing reddit is doing is illegal. When you sign up for a service like reddit, there is a TOS, which allows them to ban, warn, limit interaction, etc, at their discretion when terms of their TOS are violated.

          If their TOS doesn’t allow pictures of butterflies, and you post pictures of butterflies, you will receive a warning. Continue posting butterflies, you’ll get banned, until eventually receiving a permaban. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it, because their TOS specifically states no butterfly pictures.

      People get mad over government censorship, but condone corporate censorship if it’s something they want censored.

        Going against an agreement you agreed to abide by is not censorship. If you don’t like the agreement, don’t agree to it.

          It’s not illegal for the other party to include it, but it is absolutely censorship by any definition of the word.

          Agreeing to be censored doesn’t mean you’re not being censored.

          Lol. The pro-censorship crowd really is a site to behold. Glad I’m not loyal to it!

            If you wanna continue to be a fucking moron, that’s on you, doesn’t change the fact that if you agree to not do something, and you do it, there are consequences.

            But keep bitching because you’re too stupid to know what a TOS is, and the consequences of breaking a TOS you agree to, because you’re too stupid to read.
