Why do “censorship-free” social media networks always fail? Well, let’s see. Sit down and think. Think really, really hard.

We don’t have to guess. We know.

Who is the #1 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who most wants that?

The #3 user? Terrorists. 8kun was used to plan 3 different school shootings in a 6-month period.
