What makes you think Biden will be a threat to Saidit?

Biden also said he would restore net neutrality; that's a big win for freedom of speech online.

Yeah, what makes you think a party big on censorship and cancel culture will be a threat to a site where a lot of users don't have their noses deep in Biden's rear end? It's not like he already promised to increase censorship and he is not even a president yet.

"Cancel culture" is a Twitter phenomenon. And people seem eager to call themselves cancelled whenever they get called out for anything.

And since when are Dems "big on censorship" (other than Feinstein, but fuck her anyway)?

That task force thing could be a cause for concern, but it also doesn't really say what they plan on doing; "shining a light" on issues could be nothing. We'll see.

When they weren't? (I'd bother to put up a more coherent argument but not when you are so obviously playing dumb).

With the exception of Feinstein, all the pro-censorship bills in congress come from Republicans.

The Republicans kept extending copyright and making it so you can't strum The Mickey Mouse March on your guitar without the copyright police breaking your door down. UN american!!!!

I used to think Biden would fix internet censoring as he had a 1.4 trillion dollar infrastructure plan and Trump has(d) NO infrastructure plan to boost us which we haven't been fixed since 2005 but it sounds like he isn't any better!.

I don't call random duck tape and patching leaky pipes as 'fixing'. :) Oops it looks like today it's increased to 3 trillion.
