Vini 430 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The Social Media giants have to stop attacking free speech by acting like moral arbiters through deplatforming hateful people These Silicon Valley giants who think they can become pseudo religious moral arbiters for the masses need to recognize that free speech is a constitutional right in America and hate speech falls under free speech as ruled by the Supreme Court. We need to let the majority of rational voices naturally drown out the loud minority of annoying trolls, sociopaths and extremists. Free speech is the most important mechanism of proper communication in the West and it's worth the rick of some innocent casualties due to random unfortunate spikes in extremism. When a handful of the biggest social media platforms house the vast majority of the American public they are no long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,249 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Vini still doesn't know what free speech is By using someone else's platform, you are bound to their TOS. a free country with Free speech allows him to take his message to a different platform or create one himself. He has the freedom to do so. Now go cry me a river Edited December 11, 2018 by Goukosan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Usual I call bs but Gavin Mcinnes legitimately is promoting and calling for violence. This isn't just a free speech issue (even though free speech doesn't exist on a private platform), he outright calls for violence. Obviously I hope they are consistent.

jehurey 3,227 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I think, what I love the most..........is that thing same usual right-wing apologists KNOW that it isn't a freedom of speech violation. They think they're earning internet points by trying to whine about this. This is why alt-righter's are simply not manly.............Jordan Peterson IS technically correct, these people aren't actual men. Peterson is making MONEY duping these Betas into blaming other people for their Beta-ness. A real man wouldn't be complaining that he can't have a Youtube channel. Not only are they Betas........they apparently don't have enough money to pay for online server space. Now that just being a cheap loser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lmfao loads of people call for violence in the name of the left yet nothing gets done about it. Politicians and celebrities too. Funny how the left cheers this shit all the time. What happens when the tables turn and its you lot getting silenced all the time? The left have proven time and time again they couldn't give two shits about free speech or democracy as long as they get what they want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Facebook, youtube, twitter is equivalent of the public square, they have more visibility than all other channels combined. In that regard they should be neutral and advocating free speech as under the law. And the bans are only to one side. There's no neutrality at all, I could say horrible things like wanting to kill Trump and white people, but that would be okay. As it's not the current political sensitivity. So fuck that noise.

They're bigger than cable and the radio. ffs, think about it outside of technical terms and realize it makes no sense to not threat them as such.
