''And what about with regards to technology censorship, we've obviously seen a lot this week with Spotify. Historically, Twitter over the last couple of years has certainly increased the amount of people that remove him from this platform. Facebook is similar. I listened to a show recently about surveillance and censorship within Google and how they manipulate people by manipulating search results. Do you think much about how we deal with that whole area? Yeah. What do you think? Is it something that needs to be solved with regulation? Or education? | |||

''It's very confusing. The key thing is that there's something that has to retard bad people doing bad things for bad reasons. And I would prefer that that not be law. I prefer that that be culture. I prefer that that have to do with the consequence of being a bastard on on media. And what we've lost is any sense of the word mustn't. So I think mustn't tends to come from religion, there's something that you it's not that you shouldn't do it. Like I really shouldn't have another drink. I kind of well, | |||
''Mustn't is like, yeah, you can do that. There's no law against it. But it's, it's not on. So for example, flag burning. '''You mustn't burn the flag. You can. It's a free society. But you mustn't'''. Well, there's no law saying I can't Yeah, because you're an idiot. There's a culture saying you can't do it. And if you if you absolutely believe that your your country is the worst country on Earth—I can imagine somebody burning a Nazi flag. But that should be an enormous statement, that when a proud German family burned a Nazi flag, everyone would take notice. You don't casually burn an American flag or a British flag, even though both of our countries have done really dumb, horrible evil things. Mustn't has to have a form on the internet. We don't know what it is yet. It's like, it's like asking for it. The Internet needs its own version of a religion. It doesn't have to be a god. But it has to be some thing that has the word mustn't in its vocabulary, because right now what we have, if the API permits it, you know, it's like somebody saying, "Well, if you didn't want me to take all your stuff, I presume that you would have had a laser system to detect any kind of intrusion or motion and you would lock the door with, you know, triple police locks or something. But you left the door open, so you must have wanted me to steal all your stuff." That kind of thinking is is rampant on the internet, as well, if you didn't want to be abused, and stalked, you know, then you shouldn't put your house in your own name and you shouldn't use your own name on the internet. It's like, eff off you stupid gamer morons. I don't know how to speak about this. It's like, if you're gonna—if you're in a gaming environment, it's an exploit. "Hey, I noticed that your door was unlocked, so I walked through it." Really? There's no part of your brain saying, "maybe I shouldn't be doing this"? | |||
