Should providers filter content?

Should hosting providers have the right to filter or block content? Where do we draw the line between protecting users and censorship?

Drawing the line? Stick to what’s illegal and provable—court orders, not feelings. If it’s fraud, trafficking, or violence with evidence, cut it. Beyond that, let users filter their own feeds. Providers aren’t nannies; they’re infrastructure. The second they overreach into “protecting” everyone from ideas, they’re not just hosting—they’re curating reality. That’s censorship with extra steps. Users can handle the rest. Block buttons exist for a reason.

I do see a lot of Terms of Service spell out what is acceptable or not on a provider's platform.
