You dont seem to understand that those sites suddenly started doing that because they have to protect themselves due requirements in the recent EU GDPR legislation requiring centrally controlled Internet websites to protect users from hate speech.

GDPR is about privacy and data protection (literally "General Data Protection Regulation"). It does not address hate speech.

Do you have a link to your decentralized blockchain-based website?

As I predicted, you can only refute a soundbite and not dig into the links to actually correct your ignorance.

You cant see beyond the the tip of your nose:

The new European regulations are actually having an impact globally. Alex Jones InfoWars has been banned by Apples decision to remove five podcasts by Jones and his Infowars website. Other companies have rushed to join including Facebook, YouTube, and Spotify. The general reason is Joness podcasts are viewed as hate content which can subject them to heavy fines in Europe.

Youre so naive. The data protection issue is a ruse or Trojan horse that can be use to fine companies on technicalities when they dont prevent the free speech that the politicians and Deep State dont like:

Quote from: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/regulation/senator-mark-warner-proposes-the-end-of-free-speech-the-revenge-of-hillary/

Senate Democrats are circulating a proposal based upon their claim of Russian hacking that will completely takeover the internet and social media which has been leaked. They are adopting the EU approach to silence political criticism. They claim it is necessary, just as the EU argued, that they must act to prevent Russian hackers and restore the peoples trust in our institutions, democracy, and the free press. They are proposing comprehensive GDPR-like data protection legislation following the EU. They are calling it a proposal for Regulation of Social Media and Technology Firms, and the draft was created by Sen. Mark Warner.

The entire regulation is based upon Russians and it claims they are deliberately spreading disinformation. To justify this act, they also point back to the old Soviet Union stating they attempted to spread fake news denigrating Martin Luther King. Despite the Democrats and their campaign to start World War III over Hillarys emails, of which nobody denied were fake just hacked, their proposal is effectively to shut down anything they can call hate speech targeted at them, not Trump of course.

Warners paper suggests outlawing companies who fail to label bots and impose Draconian criminal penalties and huge fines. Effectively, they want people to pay for everything. The Democrats want full disclosure regarding ANY online political speech. They even want the Federal Trade Commission to have unbelievable power and require all companies algorithms to be audited by the feds as if they even have qualified staff to conduct such audits. On top of that, they have proposed tech platforms above a certain size MUST turn over internal data and processes to independent public interest researchers so they can identify potential public health/addiction effects, anticompetitive behavior, radicalization, scams, user propagated misinformation, and harassmentdata that could be used to inform actions by regulators or Congress. This is a complete violation of both the First and Fourth Amendment. They want the same mechanisms in Europe where anyone can complain and demand the content be taken down or subject to fines that can confiscate all assets. Sounds to me like retirement is on the horizon.

This bill would effectively end all our freedoms.

Theyre using this ruse to pressure the Internet behemoths into censoring the sort of truth that they dont want the people to know as the Western Civilization collapses and they try to redirect blame on for example Putin so they can start a war to misdirect the negative feelings about the coming economic devastation towards a fake hostility that they construct (this is the Hegelian dialectic principle of governing the sheep like you):

After the first week, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe has done far more damage than Brussels ever anticipated. This regulation, which was intended to really prevent political marketing against the government, is actually destroying the German Internet. Operators have chosen to simply shut down their websites for fear of lawsuits. Many online services have chosen to delete their users accounts. In case of violations of the regulation, companies face fines of four percent of their turnover.

At the same time, law firms are licking their lips and see a whole new fortune to be made while rubbing their hands. Lawyers have sprung into action and have set up consumer protection associations armed with this new regulation which explicitly states that consumers are entitled to take action for damages. Activists have targeted companies on a large scale all looking to make huge profits.

The US Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger once said: We may well be on our way to a society overrun by hordes of lawyers, hungry as locusts, and brigades of judges in numbers never before contemplated.

Quote from: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/rule-of-law/day-one-brings-complaints-in-europe-against-google-facebook/

It took only one day for complaints to be filed against Google and Facebook under the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When Mark Zuckerberg testified in front of members of the European Parliament, he insisted that Facebook was ready for Friday the 25th when the GDPR, which is the European Unions new strict data privacy going into effect. The very first day, complaints against Facebook and Google with others alleging that the tech companies are in violation of the law.

The GDPR was passed in April 2016 and instituted stringent new rules on any company that held consumer data. The real purpose of this is to prevent mass mailing and targeting people for political purposes. You have people like Clapper now claiming he personally believes Russia tipped the election because millions of people saw its propaganda. Of course, Clapper did that to other elections outside the USA besides tapping phones of world leaders including Merkel. The old problem is those in government have always assumed the people are stupid sheep because they have lied to them for decades and gotten away with it. The GDPR is all about trying to prevent real freedom of speech in fear that the people might listen and rise up.

The complaints target the user agreements of Google and Facebook which are notorious for being long and complicated to ensure people do not read everything before they click agree. Companies like Facebook and Google are supposed to let you know precisely what kind of data theyre collecting and/or selling about you.

Fuck, I cant hardly tolerate wasting my time anymore on these know-it-all Millennial bunny rabbits. Just let them crash and burn:
