English is not my native language, so I may not have expressed myself correctly or misunderstood you. Maybe the misunderstanding will be cleared up. I wrote: "And who decides what is moral and what is immoral? The majority? Do we take a vote on every post as to whether it's morally acceptable? Do we need 50.1% or 67% to deprive someone whose opinion we don't share the right to speak? (...)" I have obviously spoken about the problems of any attempt to apply moral standards at the level of expression. In Iran you are not allowed to say everything that you are allowed to say in Denmark. In Thailand you can't say everything you can say in the US. There are places where Opinion A is considered morally scandalous, and there are places where challenging Opinion A is considered morally scandalous. The good thing about the Internet is that we are not in one of these countries, but - exactly, on the Internet. I wanted to use my post to remind everyone how good it would be for our culture of conversation if every second social media poster didn't believe the internet was their home, so their personal code of ethics would prevail over anyone else's. I didn't mean to attack you personally. Rather, I want to ask for understanding that I am much less afraid of dull, scolding anti-Semites than I am of the state actors who, as Elon Musk proves, read all our personal messages on centralized social media platforms, invent narratives, slander political dissidents, close their accounts, and who, moreover, have the greatest interest in us all constantly accusing each other of being responsible for moral neglect, climate change, slavery, the burning of witches, the war in Europe and also for all other catastrophes, which in fact they themselves caused. Instead of canceling each other, we should cancel those who are monitoring, manipulating and inciting us against each other. For a free society, censorship itself is a far greater danger than what is censored could ever be.
