The conclusion of the article where it speaks about the consequences of de-
platforming people leading to 'counter measures' is what I'm thinking will
happen. In my opinion, the difference between government censorship and
godaddy censorship is that I can just stop using godaddy. Then I can either
close my business, use a different service, or try to help build something new
to circumvent godaddy.

I've been back and forth on distributed storage and blockchain in my mind but
my current thinking is that the recent de-platforming is going to hasten the
development of alternate solutions that are more robust with regards to
censorship. I'm not even considering about whether it is right or wrong, I
just think that's going to happen.

Despite all the handwringing here, there's no concrete proposal for what to do
with rent-seeking attention-seeking deliberatvely difficult individuals whom
one has no obligation to entertain the ideas of.

If I were NYU, I would simply never book Milo Whatever-his-name-is. Having to
deplatform him indicates that someone wanted to platform him in the first
place. Kick his useless ass to the curb/kerb, as the case may be.

As long as the ISP stays as a dumb pipe there will always be alternatives.
Self hosting is the best hosting and these days ISP connections are definitely
fast enough to host anyones' small personal site up to a medium size forum.

Hopefully as this wave of authoritarian practices sweeps the globe and the
'net people will simply adopt federated services like IRC or notabug for
communication and host it among themselves.

A private company has quite a bit of latitude, until it becomes a monopoly (or
part of an oligopoly). Monopolists always hide behind the "but, we're a
private company" defense. Who wouldn't? Settled law and legal tradition holds
that we tolerate a monopoly only when they are regulated and conduct
themselves in a manner that is fair to all.
