Yet another twisted attempt to scrub the internet of diversity,<br>
more feature creep to making everything a Prior Restraint,<br>
including whatever you liberating for or against...<br>
<br>
Now with this, not only are they again outright censoring so<br>
that content is gone, not even a free speech zone, but this time<br>
disgustingly before speech is even made through an appearance,<br>
with corps trying to game looking good about censoring via this algo...<br>
<br>
But now you get to mark yourself to them and all their datawhoring<br>
social scoring "partners" as people who are opting in to Read Freely.<br>
You know you won't score well there either. Nice job...<br>
<br>
The letters you so virulently wish for are being written against you.<br>
<br>
One also must consider general harmlessness of speech<br>
ignorable in general by walking away, vs costly legal and<br>
time assaults launched by rabid anti-speech against companies,<br>
and people for voicing even the most boring opinions these days...<br>
sanitized, homogenized, lifeless...<br>

If you don't want to buy the ticket to the show, then subscribe this<br>
algo plugin to your browser instead. Use the site's constrained-to-algo<br>
API to rage hammer all the content ratings down to "protect" other algo<br>
browser users like yourself, slide your virus slider to 0, and go outside.<br>
<br>
At least that way those who opt out of subscribing to the<br>
algo plugin will have nice diverse view and discourse by default,<br>
such as was before this insane internet censorship craze went viral.<br>
