The Modern Prohibition

submitted by oldblo to ShowerThoughts 4.1 yearsMar 12, 2021 12:05:20 ago (+8/-0)     (ShowerThoughts)

In the past drinking alcohol was artificially made taboo. Now we have a verbal prohibition.

Sites where you can communicate what you want with minimum limitations are a lot like the old speakeasy. (The name even fits well.) Hidden in the corners of the digital world and visited by many despite constant external pressure and demonization.

If the powers that be find fault with what you make all of what you have created and shared is likely to be flushed down the drain in an instant. You might even voluntarily do so yourself from time to time for safety.

When one speakeasy is found and destroyed people switch to another. Having a good time until some trouble makers try to destroy it as well like the many that came before.
