There is a symmetry, an equation if you would prefer. On the left hand side you have rights, on the right hand side you have duties.

    Rights = Duties

Your right of presumption of innocence is your duty to respect the presumption of innocence of others.

If you break this symmetry, now we can look at YOU. Why should we all respect YOUR presumption of innocence if you don't respect others?

If the response is some stereotype related crap I don't want to hear it.

Given your comment and the negative note of its parent, I'm wondering if its sarcastic nature was missed or if people interacting with it did got it was intended to be a caricature but were pissed of by its actual critic of state mass surveillance and its ridiculous "think of the children" pedonazis scarecrow.

I don't buy duality as you present. Two points is just an invitation and opportunity to envision interpolations, extrapolate some spectral scales, wondering about additional dimensions, and fathom how it might interfere with the rest of our representations.

Rights and left are just two points. Intimate mind experiences can modulate interpolations in-between.

Duty and rights are all parts of the same object, it's just a matter of perspective that can make them appear to be separated consideration. Just like creation and constraints. Nothing exists without ontological restrictions that allows its form to happen.

That is a really complicated deflection that I am not going to even bother fully reading as it is flatus vocis.

The person banned from Skype could have been an American dual citizen, nondenominational Christian, calling the Gaza strip from a phone with an American flag case, while listening to country music, from a pickup truck, with multiple bald eagle tattoos, while holding a can of American light beer. Or could have been someone else. There is no way of knowing.
