    for saying sarcastic and critical things about Israel

    spez wants to please his shareholders… and Musk, so trying to be “wholesome” by letting bots automatically flag “violent” commentary. Any negative and/or violent commentary towards Trump, MAGAts, Netanyahu and his Likud fandom will, of course, incur spez’s hatred by dropping a banhammer.

    And most people knew these rules.

    Prior to Gore asking to open up the Internet to the general public, most users were either academics, government employees, or students mostly on newsgroups. That most were on 56k dialup modems, and therefore their time online was limited. Fringers were then really on the fringes, instead of the other way around today. Yes, indeed, there was then etiquette, and in some places was strictly enforced by mods, either in BBS, newsgroups or IRC.

    The proliferation of the Internet has brought a lot of people who don’t understand these rules in to the fold and it has made the Internet a worse place.

    Once access became normalized and widespread as ADSL, which pretty much lowered the bar, most people just went straight online with complete disregard of what dark side they could run into later on, some even only starting the first time getting their web-only email addresses made such as Yahoo Mail or Google, before making their accounts for MMORPGs, online forums, Napster, Myspace, and later Facebook. That in some places, inept people have total disregard for their own online privacy, so bad they ended up being hacked or their personal identity stolen for fraud and other crimes.
