France orders internet providers to block access to Polymarket prediction site

no I actually think this is a good thing considering polymarket is a source of disinformation in itself.

Polymarket is an unregulated gambling site and actively harmful. I don't think this should be considered a "decline into censorship".

This is a highly manipulated gambling site where you can bet on which dates countries bomb each other. imho good thing

I mean, is there anyone who thinks Polymarket should exist in the first place?

Does Polymarket exist to criticize a government or its policies? Does it blow the whistle on a the practices of religion or corporation? Is it an environmental or consumer product watchdog?

Is it really censorship if it’s whole purpose is to siphon away the one resource necessary to survive in the society we’ve created though addiction and manipulation?

I guess what I’m saying is, there are certain amounts of censorship I’m willing to tolerate. Fuck Polymarket and online gambling, it should all have stayed illegal.

Not censorship. Polymarket and Kalshi primarily benefit those with insider information, not the vast majority of the world.

the vpn lobby at it again

We like things we can block. We are smart.
