Never give up rights, for any reason. No excuses. Nobody owns speech. You can own a website and you can own a restaurant. But you can't ban whoever you feel like from either... "No blacks allowed"
have we not learned from history?

I'd be very interested in what you have to say about the recent closing down of platforms such as Parler by Amazon, apple and Google in the wake of the storming of the capitol in USA.

The electoral method itself and “form” of politics bad NOTHING to do with with democracy. They are methods to *reach* democracy but not democracy (the public being represented) itself. A far better index is to state what policies the public wants and then state what policies the country actually applied the last year and check the correlation. 1.0 is democratic and 0.0 is not. USA and Europe have what is called plutocracy (business run) with voting mechanism attached to pretend it is democratic, whist both the system and even the voting mechanism have nothing to do with democracy itself. Democracy means the public are represented. The common Chinese public under socialism (and even the public of the Soviet Union) are represented and supported better than common Americans, so China is more democratic than USA despite not having the voting mechanism.
