    How would that stop this specific situation at all? The guy wasn’t censored from tweeting, he’s sentenced to death because he tweeted.

      We get to talk about it, we are aware of it, we can work together as a community to appeal the government, apply sanctions, etc.

      This man is being punished for speech, ensuring speech is available to everyone is the least we can do going forward.

        And of course that’s important, but your first comment seemed to imply that uncensored internet would have prevented this

          “Sad this guy is being murdered, but what we really should be talking about is the cause I’m interested in.”
