Right because only fiscal libertarians have any consistency.
TikTok as a communication platform should be regulated, but not censored. There should be democratic debate about communication platforms and their responsibilities but they should favor allowing communication even when it is unpopular. And they certainly shouldn’t be shutting down communication that the ruling class finds unfavorable or detrimental to their rule.
It’s not a simple yes or no answer despite what your beliefs might lead you to think.
Oh this is hilarious. Not only do you confirm that you wouldn't support them doing what they choose to with their service in the absence of government intervention, you would actively support the same government intervention you pretended to be against if it meant you could force them to do something you benefit from.
If you wanted to prove that consistency wasn't exclusive to me you've done a pretty poor job. Combing through someone's account to avoid a yes or no question is especially pathetic.

We've banned this account for using HN exclusively for ideological battle. Regardless of your ideology, that's not what HN is for, and it destroys what is for.
Normally I'd warn someone before banning, but (a) I couldn't find a single comment in your account history that wasn't like this, and (b) you've been breaking other site guidelines regularly as well, such as the ones against snark, name-calling, and so on.
