Have you ever asked yourselves why CCP is so afraid of people expressing themselves in the forums? ![CCP%20Rant](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/8/c/8c213595055c87d7162d263b5fe788b9b35c7702.png) “Civil liberties. **Iceland’s** constitution guarantees **freedom of speech** and of the press. **Iceland has** full Internet **freedom** , academic **freedom** , **freedom** of assembly and association, and **freedom** of religion. … **Iceland** accepts refugees; forced exile is illegal.” ??? ---

However CCP isn’t Iceland. They can enforce on **their** forums whatever they want, just like Twitter, Google, Amazon, Steam and whomever else can enforce on **their** platforms whatever they want. CCP isn’t obligated to publish your opinion. ---

CCP can be a bit of a troll, they created a game where they get to control the enviroment inside it. Like most people who get this power, they tend to curb the freedoms or entitlements. This is to control the sheep… we are animals after all. Animals misbehave… and in any society or pack, club, herd, town, they all have their own sets of rules, policies, and laws. Its important to be able to properly identify the differences here, because one may think, ahh, its the Internet, I have freedome of speach and can say, whatever the hell I want. I may or may not agree with this, and I think tbh that is beside the point. The point is, we should just follow the rules. Eve is not reality. Its a simulated reality. We must keep things in perspective. No one can prevent one from saying what is on their mind. I do think there is a proper place and time for that. A business, which is controlling the environment for its users whille THEY have an experience they pay for, will find it reasonable to curb some freedoms just to keep the flock of sheep in line.
