My bad, I didn't know something as generic as that was a slogan for a movement. I meant more the idea of an 'internet free' + of censorship (to me 'free internet' implies this, but w/es). When companies like google supported causes such as the tor project. Then it blew up with the whole prism scandal, hence the quotes.
That out of the way, defending a company's ToS is fucking hilarious. Whether Jack's decision happened to align this time with your political views is irrelevant. ToS are arbitrary and they do nothing more than protect a company's interests. Wouldn't you agree with that statement, Lucavi? Or do they look after the little guy? You seem to have a love/hate relationship with big companies. One day you're seething/hating on them, the next you're on your hands and knees worshiping them.
There's a big difference between banning an account because your automated system gives you a strike for using gifs provided by that system and executives making a decision at the top level to ban an account that is fomenting rebellion against the Republic.

Facebook has been banning Fallout 76 fans because they thought people were organizing a militia.
Briefly included among those banned groups was one known as the Free States Militia, a fairly generic-sounding name as these things go, not out of place amidst the Michigan Militia, Missouri Citizens Militia, or the Ohio Defense Force. It's very different from all of them in one big way though, because it's not actually a militia group at all, but a private Fallout 76 roleplaying group on Facebook.
A Facebook spokesperson apologized for the mixup, and suggested in a statement to Kotaku that an automation error was to blame. "We have both AI that detects these groups as well as 15,000 human content reviewers, but occasionally Groups are removed in error," the rep said. "If we detect a Group is connected to a dangerous organization, we may remove the Group and associated admin Profiles are disabled."
seems bad

A user of the audio-based social network Clubhouse proved that the network's data is not as safe as the company claims to be.
The app allows users to join and participate in pop-up public or private audio chatrooms, promising that conversations are not recorded and have to be experienced live.
But US cyber-security researchers tweeted that a user had found a way to stream audio to another website.
The incident occurred because a user had realized that it was possible to be in multiple chatrooms at once.
By understanding how this worked, the user could connect a Clubhouse API to his website, and essentially "share" his login remotely with anyone on the internet who wanted to listen to the audio chats from the app.
Sunday's incident comes after Clubhouse made assurances that user data couldn't be stolen by cyber-criminals or state-sponsored hackers, in response to a warning from Stanford University's Internet Observatory, which is headed by Facebook's former security chief Alex Stamos.
Stanford's cyber-security researchers discovered several security flaws, including the fact that the users' unique ID numbers and the ID numbers of the Clubhouse chatrooms they created were being transmitted in plaintext and it could be possible connect IDs to specific user profiles.

Instagram has finally restricted adults DM-ing teenagers, along as the accounts have the correct ages registered.
Instagram is adding safety measures designed to protect teenagers from unwanted direct messages from adults.
Older users will be able to privately message teenagers who follow them only.
And messages will be overlaid with a notice reminding teenagers they need not respond to anything that makes them uncomfortable.
Instagram said it was developing "new artificial intelligence and machine learning technology" to help tackle the challenge of age verification, especially in cases where account holders have not been honest.
The minimum age for using Instagram is officially 13.
