I'm sorry, but you got this thing wrong. You cannot easily shutdown Bitcoin without taking down the whole Internet.

Yea right, even if you change the ports, you're not using randomized ports, and even if so, the ISPs can still detect who is running bitcoin nodes or other activity on their network and just say "sorry, we're turning off your connection because we do not support people laundering money with bitcoin", or whatever other excuse they want to make. The corporations would even run their own nodes as a honeypot to sniff people out. It's mostly a stupid argument since governments are far more likely to eradicate bitcoin through legislation than by pseudo-govt entities like Google, Comcast, or AT&T doing it under a corporate umbrella, but still, corporations can put a big dent into bitcoin viability if they want.

Well, I for one do appreciate that you are just trying to "save us all" lol

The fact that a guy was essentially banned from the entire internet (the daily stormer - the #2320 most popular website in America) and prevented from running a website or practicing free speech (because jews don't want the goyim to know what they're doing like destroying 1st world white nations by flooding them with rapefugees on purpose) while not actually breaking any law is kind of an Orwellian precedent whether you like the site or not.

Daily Stormer - #2320 in popularity
Infowars.com - #828
MSNBC - #529

As you can see, the zionist propaganda outlets like CNN, MSNBC, etc, are starting to get worried their propaganda is collapsing and no longer fools people.

Free speech in the US is kind of weird (in my personal opinion). I live in germany. We have free speech too, it's simply part of our human rights. But we also have another very important rule: Your human rights end there, where you intersect the human rights of somebody else. Which to me is a really reasonable limitation.

With this mindset, i totaly understand to take down the daily stormer. Because harrassing a casualty doesn't meet my interpretation of "free speech".

But the CloudFlare CEO himself points out, that he shouldn't be the person to decide that. In a democracy you got division of powers. And this division seems to be missing so far.

One can deem the CEO for doing that. But i think more important is to think of a way on how to agree on what to remove and what not. Even though germany and the us share the same "western mindset" the decision on this case would be diffrent. And now start to think to find agreements with the whole world on these kind of things. We are all fine with gay content on the internet. But saudi arabia isn't. Where do we start to take compromises, where to we start to stand for our democratical achievements? As always: It's complicated, but still not the end of the world.
