Kinda weird how speech about entirely legal activity gets deplatformed, but TPB whose core competency is theft has all the courts wringing their hands about freedom of speech.


That's probably a "golden" opportunity for the MPAA and the like. Implicate a Pirate Bay link with "neo-nazis" or "racists", watch it go down shortly after. Perhaps Alex Jones or Sargon of Akkad could start using it as another platform to distribute their content.


It's almost like TPB is not hosted by a public company with data centers in the United States.


Piracy is good but fascism is bad. What's the problem here?
