I'm not going to speak for Nigerians. If you want Nigerian opinions, ask Nigerians.

I am going to say that I don't see how laws imposed by an unelected foreign company are better than laws imposed by an unelected local government. And when we're talking about companies creating unbannable sites, we're absolutely talking about companies dictating law.

Government banning speech is a very bad thing. This usually leads to death, and violence, like a lot of it, and most extreme one.

Foreign nations and companies dictating laws to a country has historically led to much the same things.

Many people in the countries Britain colonised lived under autocracies without even a veneer of freedom. How many of those countries today appreciate Britain's actions?
