Forcing people to host speech they don’t want to is far more draconian than not doing so.
You’d probably be more than a little annoyed if I put a swastika sign on your front yard and then told you that you were infringing on my right to free speech when you went to go remove it.
I don’t think the government views video game mod hosts as so fundamental to a healthy society that they require strong limitations on their own freedom of speech, but you’re welcome to call up your representative and start a campaign for the ability to force Nexus to host Nazis if it’s truly important to you.
Your “freeze peach” only has to do with your government. You keep pointing out corporations aren’t people as if that had anything to do with this topic, but until you start paying taxes and owning land through Facebook, it’s a non-sequitur.
I’m not claiming that the law governs this under free speech. I simply think that free speech is worthless if it’s only in places that go ignored.
So why are you forcing Nexus Mods to host this content? What does this have to do with “corporations aren’t people”? Why even bring that comment up?
If a company is thousands of people, what is private about it?
This is just more non-sequiturs. First off, private in this context is privately owned. It doesn’t matter how many people work for them, nor how “secret” a “secret” is if you tell it to everyone (which isn’t a “secret” to begin with). Second off, Nexus Mod’s work force, including community management, is thirteen people.
What you think your free speech should mean, and what you think your country should do with mass media/popular social media has no basis in this conversation.
But Facebook is the one deciding I should see my conservative relatives bitch about being silenced. If I had my way I would never hear my uncle’s take on whether trans women are women, an issue which he apparently holds so close to his heart that he can’t go ten seconds without posting about it
It’s also not okay if the president shoots people in broad daylight. Seems weird to complain about how they could potentially that when they ain’t doing that
Nexus mods might be doing that, but I think they’re well within their rights to say “no abject homophobia.” Reddit and Facebook are super not doing that, hence my constant seeing people whine about it even though it isn’t happening
You can, quite easily, unsub from your uncle so he doesn’t show up in your feed. He’ll still be your Facebook friend and won’t even know you aren’t seeing his drivel anymore. You can do this. Facebook doesn’t need to be the arbiter of morality.
So much ‘both sides’ nonsense disappears, when you figure out reasons come first.
Nexus blocking bigotry is good, because fuck bigotry. Facebook promoting bigotry is bad, because… fuck bigotry. The fact both actions involve the same mechanism does not matter. If you can’t comprehend a judgement of intent and outcomes, and have to grapple with events in terms of blind actions devoid of context, ask one of your fellow space aliens to explain how humans work.

No matter how much stupid people scream about being silenced, we never fucking stop hearing them

There are plenty platforms to host mods. You can even just set one up yourself. You don’t have a right to be hosted on exactly the one you want.

How about you make a popular website and then we can decide how valid your opinion that websites should be a soapbox for vocal minorities really is.

Oh yeah, the big money people over at nexus mods are surely going to sway geopolitics climates for sure.
Don’t worry bud, mom will bring some nuggets down to the basement soon and so her lil neckbeard won’t be so cranky anymore. 🤡
Reasons matter.
