  • This is literally how all of law, terms, regulations, and moderation work. The collective or defining party defines a set of rules.

    The rules obviously don’t prevent lying or ignoring the rules, but they set the baseline to moderate and act with. Without the rule, Bandcamp would not remove such content, and people could not reclaim their money, and nobody could sue the publishers.








  • Biological and psychological variance is an Internet part of humanity. When you say this I’m immediately reminded of fascist ideals and efforts to ‘normalize’ and ‘conformize’ people, and not just from this side of the spectrum. So I think this is a somewhat dangerous argument to make.

    At large, it’s human nature to elevate these kinds of people, that’s why they end up in such high positions. I’m not sure we can change that. And that’s where regulations and requirements by law come in, as well as public record and press, to keep them in check.

    I get the sentiment and frustration in your comment though.
