Why is the internet so restrictive? Why is it impossible to find a place where you can express yourself fully?

Why is the Internet restrictive about what you can say? I wonder…

So they lost their hosting again, made some changes again, found a new host, and came back with new rules: you can express absolutely anything except child porn or terrorism..

That’s right: child pornographers. Within months, 8chan was absolutely flooded with child porn. And I don’t mean child porn like 17-year-olds posing nude, I mean child porn like graphic photos of 6-month-old babies being raped.

It’s impossible to find a place to express yourself without restriction for reasons that are obvious if you think about it.

That’s right, terrorists. It started swarming with ISIS recruiters and people planning terrorist attacks.

That’s right, spree killers. In a single six-month period, it was used to plan and coordinate not one, not two, but three mass murder rampages.

Who would use a site that lets you express absolutely anything except child porn?

The internet is restrictive because it’s other people’s stuff. You don’t have the right to use other people’s stuff for free. If you do use other people’s stuff, they have the right to tell you what you can and can’t do with it, and to tell you to stop using it if they want to.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

What happens if there’s a site that lets you say whatever you want with no restrictions? We don’t have to wonder or guess. We know, because there have been such sites, like 8chan. 8chan let anyone say anything they wanted to without restriction. What happened?
