These whiners don't have any power; just ignore them. Except when they persuade businesses to censor certain content or self-censor to make themselves feel better. But ignore that too since it's not illegal for the businesses to do that, so you have no grounds to complain. No problems here as long as you ignore all the problems that actually exist.
